5 maturity levels of CMM[Capability Maturity Model]

As We Know that the 5 maturity levels of CMM are needed to check the condition of an organization and its process in SDLC. The tasks to accomplish are been setup when you enter the level four. Accurate measures for processes of SDLC and for the quality of product are stored in a data base.

CMM’s Five Maturity Levels of Software Processes

  • At the initial level, processes are disorganized, even chaotic. Success is likely to depend on individual efforts, and is not considered to be repeatable, because processes would not be sufficiently defined and documented to allow them to be replicated.
  • At the repeatable level, basic project management techniques are established, and successes could be repeated, because the requisite processes would have been made established, defined, and documented.
  • At the defined level, an organization has developed its own standard software process through greater attention to documentation, standardization, and integration.
  • At the managed level, an organization monitors and controls its own processes through data collection and analysis.
  • At the optimizing level, processes are constantly being improved through monitoring feedback from current processes and introducing innovative processes to better serve the organization’s particular needs.
