The Introduction course is a prerequisite for attendance at the PPA Assessor for CMMI workshop, which provides delegates with all the knowledge and skills necessary to participate in a formal assessment against the CMMI model using the Process Professional Assessment (PPA) method. This highly interactive and enjoyable workshop includes the opportunity to take part in a simulated assessment through a series of group role-playing exercises, and provides an understanding of the assessment method, the rating framework and guidance on how to interpret the model for a range of operating instances.

Successful completion of the continuous assessment and examined elements of the workshop leads to provisional PPA Assessor status.
