Our Training Solutions

The productivity difference between a trained engineer and one who is “thrown into the fire?”  It’s 10:1.  And that’s for the good ones!

Broadsword’s award-winning training offerings are unique to the industry.  Sure, we offer all of the SEI Authorized courses including “Introduction to CMMI,” “CMMI v1.3 Upgrade Training,” CMMI Maturity Level Two for Practitioners,” and “SCAMPI Appraisal Team Training.”  But that’s just the beginning.

The CMMI training is important, and you should attending those.  But while CMMI Training can teach you the basics about the model and methods, it doesn’t teach you HOW to implement real sustainable change in your organization.  it doesn’t teach you how to compose and deploy useful engineering practices that make your products better and your job easier.

Rapid, sustainable change that brings you the full benefit of the CMMI model takes leadership, facilitation, organizational change management, a knowledge of industry-leading techniques, and a host of skills related to managing the overall process improvement program.  It takes the ability to get management and practitioners “on-board” and all moving in the same direction.  It takes the ability to counter resistance deliver a solution that makes sense for your business.

Broadsword has the solution.

We offer a host of training, mentoring, and webinar programs customized to meet your specific needs.  Some are the very same courses you might take at the SEI, and many more are Broadsword originals.

The SEI even awarded us the “SEI Member Award for Outstanding Representative” for our work in helping others learn about the CMMI.
