CMMI The quality of a software product is only as good as the process used to develop and maintain it. Whether a software organization is competing in the marketplace or trying to satisfy internal requirements, its software process is a critical success factor. Well thought out improvements to the process will significantly contribute to the organization's performance.

CMM Multiple Models  Software CMM- The original CMM  Personal management PCMM- People capability maturity model  Security- Security system engineering CMM

CMMI Maturity Levels

Maturity Levels 1.Initial2.Repeatable3.Defined4.Managed5.Optimizing * Process are ad hoc, chaotic and disorganized * There are few formal rules or procedures * Success depends on individual efforts * Processes are defined and documented * Basic Project management techniques to track cost, schedule and functionality * Success can be repeated * Specific implementation differ from project to project * A standard software process meets the organization’s specific needs * Attention is paid to documentation, standardization and integration * Projects follow this defines processes even under schedule pressure * Management recognizes that theses process are the quickest route to completion * Processes are predictable * Detailed quantitative measurements of process are and product quality are collected * Management can adjust and adapt the process to specific projects without loosing quality or deviating from specifications * Process are continuously improving * Process are improved through feedback and shared ideas * Managers introduce innovative processes to better server the organization’s particular needs
