A starting point for a discussion on marrying Agile methods and CMMI.ANNOUNCEMENT: Introducing the Greater Baltimore SPIN!
Posted by Hillel on Jan 18, 2008 in APLN, gbSPIN | Comments Off
Yes, you read it correctly!
A new Software/Systems Process Improvement Network (aka an SEI “Chapter”) is starting up in the Greater Baltimore area. Facilitated by yours truly and called gbSPIN for short, our aim is to bring you high-value, relevant and important content on the subject of project, product, and process excellence.
Our mission is to provide pragmatic, practical, and timely content on process improvement topics. We won’t be limiting ourselves to CMMI or other technologies from the SEI because there’s so much more to the conversation than just CMMI. To that end, we are co-operating with the Maryland chapter of APLN.
Our FIRST EVER meeting will be on Tuesday, February 19th in Ellicott City, MD, starting at 5:30pm with networking, socializing, and dinner followed by our topic, a workshop called Learning to See Waste. Learning to see waste is the first step in becoming a "lean" operation.
Details and registration information are available here:

Please spread the word and hope to see you!

My professional passion is to build high performance organizations out of companies motivated to be lean, agile, and achieve world-class results. My best clients are companies who have the courage, leadership, insight, foresight and discipline to be the best places to work, the best value to their customers and the best performing for their shareholders. I take a tough love approach and, frankly, have little patience for executives who *want* these things but expect to achieve them without putting in any effort or making any changes.
