Project Management Training Strategy

Training Approach

• Apply basic project management best practices to
  all Center projects
• Develop Project Management Guide and Center
  instruction requiring its use
• Guide will apply to all projects big and small
  (Tier I, Tier II)
• Designated projects will follow more detailed
  requirements that will help move them toward
  compliance with CMMI Level 3
• Individual Departments will specify which
  projects are designated to adhere to the CMMI
  Level 3 requirements
• Focus will be on applying the best practices
  described in the PMBOK and CMMI and not doing
  CMMI or SPI
• Develop and implement a standard Proposal Process
  to accompany the PM Guide
• Develop PM training to support the PM Guide and
  Proposal Process
• Work with the Project Management Council to get
  input and gain approval of project management
  standards and processes
• Use SPI Agents formal training follow-up
  process to ensure student accountability
