Welcome to the Albuquerque Software
Process Improvement Network!

(ABQSPIN)

 

  June Meeting
  

 

 

The next Albuquerque SPIN meeting will be June 16th and will feature Susan Byrnes speaking on Getting to CMMI Level 3 Risk Management. We have scheduled the Meeting Room again at Fiesta’s Restaurant, located at the corner of Montgomery and Carlisle.

 

Abstract: Getting to CMMI Level 3 Risk Management

What has your organization learned about risk management over the years? Probably more than you think! As an organization matures, people learn and collect valuable information about managing risks… information and assets that can be leveraged while institutionalizing a powerful risk management capability.  As a learning organization, you can and should apply your risk management lessons learned and historical data to build an effective organizational risk management strategy. 

 

This presentation discusses how to use your organization’s risk management experiences to develop a CMMI Level 3 compatible risk management process.  It discusses the differences between CMMI Level 2 risk management (which consists of just two specific practices PP SP2.2 and PMC SP1.3) and the Level 3 risk management process area which calls for an organization wide comprehensive risk management strategy. A formalized risk management process will be received better if it is based on real data from your organization, as opposed to a methodology copied from another, perhaps dissimilar organization. 

 

A step-by-step approach for transitioning from Level 2 to Level 3 risk management is provided.   The steps given are not tool specific and can be used in any size organization to move risk management to the next level and provide useful improvements even if your organization is not pursuing a CMMI maturity or capability level rating.

SPIN GOALS:
The goals of the ABQ SPIN are to enhance member skills, promote awareness of quality methods and best practices, and support technology transition through an active program of networking and education.  The SPIN meetings will be designed to be a non-competitive forum for discussing problems, sharing ideas and solutions and introducing new or proven methods for implementing and maintaining software (and systems) quality assurance and process improvement initiatives.

WE NEED YOUR INVOLVEMENT!

In order to make this SPIN successful, we need your ideas and involvement.  Our plan is to create working groups based on topics that the members want to explore in more detail and to create forums for discussion (e.g., roundtables) focused on people from different sectors, but with similar responsibilities. Send any and all ideas, suggestions, presentation topics, possible speakers and interest in leading any of these working groups or roundtables to info@abqspin.org or contact the current ABQ SPIN Chair, Dave DeGrazio at (505) 559-4333

Anyone who would like to help maintain or redesign this webpage, please contact Dave DeGrazio at (505) 559-4333 or email ddegrazio@mcri.com
