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.

WE
NEED YOUR INVOLVEMENT!
In order to make this SPIN successful, we need your ideas and involvement.

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
