I need to know EVERYTHING about CMMI - where to begin?

Dear CMMI Appraiser – Help!  I need to know everything about CMMI!  Where to begin?

Dear Readers,

When you need to know everything about CMMI, you have options.  But in my humble opinion, the best place to start is with the “Everything You NEED to Know” webinar series from Broadsword.

Check it out and you’ll see what I mean.  The "Everything You NEED to Know” series take a different approach to CMMI.  Rather than focusing on documents, forms and CMMI ratings, each webinar helps you focus on the fact that Process Improvement, Agile, and CMMI are about improving and changing the way your company behaves, so that you can improve performance, build stronger products and have happier customers.
