Abstract
This paper describes the development process for a course used to help increase the level of maturity of software development at Motorola. We also describe the contents of the course and the experiences teaching it worldwide. The course is part of Motorola's comprehensive software engineering improvement program geared towards achieving Six Sigma quality levels. Course development was driven by an extensive requirements analysis. The requirements were then used to determine course topics and priorities, instructional sequence and course duration. We also report on course contents and the course's impact on the organization.
