Enhancements made ahead of the CMMI 2024
Conference taking place 8-10 May
To continue to deliver innovative training to those pursuing
credentialing pathways for ISACA’s Capability Maturity Model
Integration (CMMI®), ISACA has updated each of its CMMI
certification-related policies and CMMI certification exams to
align with the recent CMMI V3.0 release and reflect best practices
in managing certification programs.
CMMI helps organizations—more than 19,000 since
inception—enhance their performance and seize opportunities as
trusted business partners and suppliers. The recent updates to the
CMMI credentialing pathway courses and exams include:
- Implementing changes to the certification pathway to align with
CMMI V3.0, including the development of new Exam Content Outlines
(ECOs) for all CMMI certification exams.
- Developing new exam questions (items) to align to their
respective ECOs to ensure the exams assess the knowledge and
competencies required within the specific roles.
- Establishing a new cut score for each exam to ensure that those
that pass truly have the right amount of knowledge and competencies
to perform the respective role.
“The learning team at ISACA is excited to support the CMMI V3.0
upgrade by refining the CMMI training offerings with a strong focus
on continuous improvement and new functionality to enhance the
student experience,” says Kirsten Lora, ISACA vice president,
publishing.
The updated training material brings increased value to students
through:
- Improved visibility of, and emphasis on, course objectives
- Redesigned and improved graphics throughout the course
material
- Consistent style across the version 3.0 courses and
material
- Tailored guidelines that allow the instructor to cover all
essential material, while customizing course material to the
specific needs of different audiences
- Support from a comprehensive Instructor Guide that helps to
manage the pace of the class
- Virtual delivery format that can be adaptable to onsite
delivery
“In the more than 20 years I have been teaching CMMI courses,
there has always been a high level of support for instructors and
students, resulting in strong outcomes,” says Richard Bechtold,
PhD, president, Abridge Technology Certified CMMI LA and
Instructor. “The improved quality that ISACA is bringing to its
CMMI training and credentialing material will ensure that the
learning experience is further elevated and customizable to set up
both learners and instructors for success.”
ISACA also recently released its CMMI High Maturity Lead
Appraiser (HMLA) Entrance Exam, based on an updated Exam Content
Outline supporting the V3.0 model to ensure the qualifications of
the most experienced and skilled Lead Appraisers. The updated HMLA
Certification aims to provide clarity to high maturity candidates,
facilitating smoother progression through the pathway while
maintaining quality, rigor, and consistency in the certification
process. The HMLA oral exam was recently released as well.
These recent updates, including enhancements to ISACA’s CMMI
Lead Appraiser Training that align all content to the CMMI V3.0
model and domain content, and adjustments made to better link
learner objectives with course content, provide more guidance and
clarity to CMMI Instructors delivering these courses in the notes.
Additionally, ISACA recently released the updated Achieving High
Maturity (AHM) course and the updated CMMI Professional Exam, the
first tier of the CMMI advanced level exams, which supports
up-and-coming professionals seeking to elevate their careers
through the CMMI ecosystem.
The CMMI 2024 Conference will take place 8-10 May in Phoenix,
Arizona, bringing together members of the CMMI community from a
range of backgrounds and industries to share and learn best
practices for improving organizational performance. To learn more
