Learn how to really implement Software Process Improvement where an assessment is only a starting point for a beneficial improvement journey.

Description

While there is a wide-spread knowledge about the performance of assessments the real implementation of SPI (Software, System and Service Improvement) takes great effort and a lot of experience to achieve a ROI (Return on Investment). Assessor qualification is currently central. However, to ensure the success of improvement actions another additional qualification is necessary: The ECQA Certified (SPI) Software, System and Service Improvement Manager. This training and the received certificate qualify you - with strategies, methods and best practices - to successfully implement SPI in your organization.

The materials and methods are based on the values and principles promoted by the SPI Manifesto, which was created by a group of international experts at the EuroSPI 2009 conference in Alcalá, Spain.

This Software System Service Process Improvement Manager education focuses on how to implement successfully improvements in organisations and how to outline success criteria to be considered like that improvement isn´t just an assessment but represents a long-lasting beneficial initiative.
