About the High Maturity Concepts Course
High Maturity Concepts (HMC) is the official one-day CMMI Institute course that takes certified CMMI Practitioners into the statistical and quantitative practices behind Maturity Levels 4 and 5 — where organisations move from doing practices to managing performance with data. New to the framework? Start with What is CMMI.
You’ll learn to recognise the process characteristics that meet the intent of the CMMI high maturity practices, and the business value of quantitative management and continuous performance improvement.
HMC is the next step on the High Maturity Track: Building Organizational Capability (BOC) → CMMI Practitioner Exam → High Maturity Concepts → High Maturity appraisal team & advanced CMMI courses. It runs the day after each Demix BOC cohort.

What You'll Learn
A focused one-day agenda for certified Practitioners.
Four themes take you from the high-maturity practice areas to the statistical techniques behind quantitative management — and what they mean for appraisals and organisational performance.
1
High-Maturity Concepts & the Levels 4–5 Practice Areas
• The structure of CMMI Maturity Levels 4 and 5
• The practice areas involved in high maturity
• Recognising process characteristics that meet the intent of the high maturity practices
The foundation for everything quantitative that follows.
2
Causal Analysis & Managing Performance
• Causal analysis and resolution
• Managing performance and measurement
• Connecting measurement to business objectives
How high-maturity organisations find and fix the causes, not the symptoms.
3
Statistical & Quantitative Techniques in a CMMI Context
• Statistical thinking for process management
• Understanding variation and process stability
• Process performance baselines and models in practice
The quantitative core of Maturity Levels 4 and 5.
4
High Maturity, Appraisals & Organisational Performance
• How high maturity connects to appraisal
• The path toward serving on a High Maturity appraisal team
• The business value of managing performance with data
Where the quantitative practices meet organisational results.
Why Go High Maturity
High maturity is where CMMI moves from doing practices to managing performance quantitatively — the differentiator appraised at Maturity Levels 4 and 5.
Quantitative Management
Learn the statistical thinking behind managing process performance with data — the core of Maturity Levels 4 and 5.

HMC carries prerequisite credit toward serving on a CMMI High Maturity appraisal team and the Achieving High Maturity course.

Predictable delivery, quantified improvement, and performance your customers can see — the business case for Levels 4 and 5.
