The popularity of TMMi is growing & today there are over 500 individuals who have passed the TMMi Professional examination. There are 20 TMMi Lead Assessor but there is also the Accenture’s Test Assessment framework which can be used for SI/AO type projects, these can be conducted rapidly focusing on areas where it is known the client is experiencing challenges and we need to deep dive further to provide solutions to those challenges. Alternatively a comprehensive assessment with over 150 questions can be conducted.
