    Episode 27 - S2 - What is CMMI Part 2

    In this episode of "The Quality Hub," Xavier Francis and Rick Krick discuss "What is CMMI Part 2?" They start by covering the advanced levels of the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) framework, focusing on levels four and five, which involve quantitative management and continuous process improvement. Rick explains that implementing CMMI poses challenges, such as the need for accessible, active projects, and more. Effective leadership is crucial, as it supports resource allocation, barrier removal, and other needs. Achieving CMMI certification allows, among other things, organizations to bid on government contracts and enhances process efficiency. Despite its complexity, Rick assures that CMMI is accessible to businesses of all sizes and can significantly improve organizational structure and competitiveness.

    Episode 27 - S2 - What is CMMI Part 1

    In this episode of the Quality Hub Podcast, Xavier Francis interviews Rick Krick from Core Business Solutions about What is CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration), a process improvement framework. Unlike ISO 9001, which focuses on quality processes, CMMI emphasizes evidence-based project management. Rick discusses the basics of CMMI and then outlines the first three of CMMI’s five maturity levels: Level 1 (Initial) Level 2 (Managed) and Level 3 (Defined). Most companies aim for levels 2 or 3, while levels 4 and 5, which require extensive data monitoring, will be covered in “What is CMMI Part 2” next week.  Helpful Resources: https://www.thecoresolution.com/cmmi-ml2-ml3-consulting-services https://www.thecoresolution.com/what-is-the-difference-between-cmmi-dev-and-cmmi-svc https://www.thecoresolution.com/cmmi-maturity-levels-2-and-3 https://www.thecoresolution.com/cmmi-v3-update-explained Contact us at 866.354.0300 or email us at info@thecoresolution.com A Plethora of Articles: https://www.thecoresolution.com/free-learning-resources ISO 9001 Consulting: https://www.thecoresolution.com/iso-consulting
