TMMi Quick scan 2022

Workshop TMMi Quick Scan

TMMi is the leading model for test process improvement. It is applicable to both traditional and Agile environments. Organizations and individuals are increasingly adopting TMMi to improve their test process and have their test process or test organization accredited.  The TMMi quick scan workshop is designed to build on the skills acquired on the TMMi Professional course, by preparing students who want to gain the knowledge and practical skills required, to go on and perform a TMMi quick scan for a (test) organization or project.

Attending the TMMi quick scan workshop allows attendees to actually start with TMMi. An essential part at this is to determine the status of an organization or project with regards to the TMMi, and to subsequently determine the improvement areas and actions. The attendees to the workshop will learn how to perform a TMMi quick scan either internally or externally for another organizations.  The course is a mixture of lecture materials, practical exercises and discussions with an experienced accredited TMMi Lead Assessor to help prepare delegates to deliver TMMi quick scans with confidence.
