Dear SPIN Coordinators,

I presently have 5 openings left for a public offering of the SEI Intro to CMMI course being held in Loveland, Colorado this coming July 22^nd, 23^rd, and 24^th.

I would be grateful if you would pass on the news to any members of your SPIN that you may know of that would be interested in taking the course in northern Colorado during these dates. More information regarding the class offering and location can be found at the following URL: http://www.summitprocessengineering.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=12

As I would like to have a full class, if they mention that they heard about the class through the SPIN network, I will offer it to them at a discount of $1,125.00 per student.

Thank you and best regards,

Wayne Littlefield

Executive Manager and Senior Principal Consultant

This course, for senior-level technology managers, covers business principles in technology forecasting, product management, product marketing, inventory control, quality measures, competition and benchmarking that are critical in corporate strategic planning. These principles are reviewed in interactive sessions with other participants and include summaries that lock in relevant points for each participant. Course materials are included.
