Run your GUIDE program with peers, a direct line to CMMI, and a voice in Washington
The GUIDE Coalition is a working group of GUIDE participants.
Five things members get
GUIDE Coalition members compare implementation fixes, take shared problems to CMMI together, and make the case for the model to Congress and the administration.
Monthly
Coalition meeting
A facilitated working session where participants bring real implementation problems and leave with answers.
- Share implementation lessons and best practices
- Get technical assistance on priority implementation issues
- Identify shared questions that need a targeted CMMI response
- Hear CMMI insight gathered outside public-facing technical assistance
- Shape messaging that builds congressional, administrative and public support
Every two weeks
Government affairs briefing
Email updates on administrative and congressional activity, appointments, committee schedules and signaled priorities that affect your program.
Ongoing
Direct CMMI interface
Raise model constraints, best practices and information needs with CMMI staff as a group, so one program’s issue carries the weight of many.
As needed
Congressional engagement
Hill meetings, hearing participation and interested-parties letters in support of GUIDE implementation.
On request
Shared research
Analysis of common issues and information needs raised by members.
