Which Capability Area includes the Organizational Training (OT) Practice Area?

The Organizational Training (OT) Practice Area is included within the Managing the Workforce capability area. This area focuses on the effective development and management of an organization's personnel, ensuring that employees have the necessary skills and knowledge to perform their roles proficiently and adapt to changes in the work environment.

Organizational Training emphasizes creating a continuous learning culture, developing training programs aligned with organizational goals, and assessing the effectiveness of those training initiatives. This focus on workforce management is crucial for enhancing overall performance and meeting strategic objectives.

In CMMI, the interplay between skills development and workforce management underscores why this practice area is intimately connected to managing human resources, rather than being part of quality processes, project management, or supplier management. Each of these other areas addresses distinct aspects of an organization's operations, but managing the workforce is specifically about nurturing and enhancing the capabilities of the staff.
