Owner and Principal Consultant BG Solutions and 服务 LLC, one of the lead organizers of the 2024年CMMI会议， 将于5月8-10日在凤凰城举行, 亚利桑那州, 美国, recently visited with the ISACA现在 blog to highlight the CMMI conference program and added benefits of sharing a site with the 北美ISACA会议. 下面是一个Q&对Gallagher的采访, an ISACA Certified High Maturity Lead Appraiser with over 30 years of experience applying advanced systems and software engineering and program management methodologies to help organizations solve their most challenging problems.
What excites you most about the upcoming conference from a programming standpoint?
今年对CMMI来说是令人兴奋的一年! We've ended 2023 exceeding 5,000 benchmark appraisals for the first time ever, CMMI V3.0发布，增加了新的内容和域, and the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA) use of CMMI to encourage improvement in the US medical device industry is experiencing incredible growth. 更重要的是, this is the first opportunity since the end of the pandemic for the CMMI user community to get together and share their firsthand experiences and success stories that have made CMMI the premier process improvement approach worldwide. I’m looking forward to seeing friends and colleagues in-person once again!
What type of feedback have you gathered from the community since the release of CMMI 3.0, and what more can attendees expect to learn about these updates at the conference?
With the release of any update to CMMI, there’s always a bit of apprehension and curiosity. 好消息是，虽然CMMI 3.0 is a major upgrade, the impact to existing users of CMMI is minimal, and in most cases transparent. 如果您使用CMMI来帮助改进您的开发, 服务交付, 供应商管理流程, and you intend to continue to use the model for this purpose, 您可能不会注意到任何变化. 然而, you now have more options to explore additional content in the model to include a total of eight domains. 你还在发展, 服务, 及供应商管理, but you also have improvement guidance and the ability to benchmark your capabilities in the areas of Data, 人, 安全及保安. 除了, an exciting new domain called Virtual provides guidance on how to manage creative talent who are geographically dispersed: the new normal for many of us.
ISACA will also have its conference going on in Phoenix at this time – what do you see as the additional opportunities there for CMMI conference attendees?
I was fortunate to attend the last two annual ISACA conferences in the US: 2022 was held in New Orleans and 2023 was held in Boston. The biggest takeaway for me was that ISACA knows how to throw a party! The energy and excitement generated by the global ISACA community is amazing! 此外，主讲人也是世界级的. The CMMI conference and the ISACA conference are not just co-located physically. As a CMMI conference attendee, you get to partake in both conferences. 主题演讲者是共享的, 大家一起庆祝, 如果你找到符合你需要的内容, 你可以参加这两个会议的会议. 这就像是用一个会议的钱开了两个会议!
What can attendees expect from the panel sessions that are taking place?
We are fortunate to have the experts from ISACA’s CMMI性能解决方案 team in Phoenix to share the changes from V2.0到V3.0. We’ll also hear from medical device companies detailing how they are using CMMI to improve performance and reduce risk in their highly regulated industry. You'll be able to hear lessons learned from early adopters of the new Security Domain and how CMMI has helped them align and prepare for the upcoming launch of the DoD’s 网络安全 Maturity Model Certification (CMMC). Finally, come with all your toughest questions in an “Ask me Anything!” session with ISACA’s Leadership and their CMMI性能解决方案 team.
What else is top of mind for you from a CMMI perspective as we draw closer to this event?
The future is bright for CMMI and process improvement professionals. The use of the CMMI worldwide continues to grow and expand into new and innovative areas. This is the place to not only learn about the future of CMMI, but to actively engage and shape that future with the next generation of CMMI professionals. 我期待着听到你在凤凰城的故事!
