ATLAS

ATLAS, or “Ask The Lead AppraiserS,” is an email-based forum facilitated by Pat O’Toole.  Every couple of months or so, an “interesting” topic is selected and a questionnaire is published to the full set of 600+ SEI-certified folks (SCAMPI lead appraisers, SCAMPI team leaders, and “Intro to CMMI” instructors), as well as to 1600+ non-certified people.

Each ATLAS questionnaire explores the related topic through scenarios and/or multiple choice questions.  Past topics have covered model interpretation issues, appraisal issues, training issues, adoption issues, qualification issues, etc.  Future ATLAS topic areas include, well, more of the same!

If you’d be interested in contributing to future ATLAS questionnaires, or if you have an “interesting” topic that you’d like explored, please contact us.

All of our ATLAS publications are available for download, both individually and as a whole.
