HIGHLIGHTS

Constellations

The CMMI process model framework is currently available in three constellations – CMMI for Development, CMMI for Services, and CMMI for Acquisition.

CMMI Assessment

The CMMI Assessment is an activity to evaluate compliance and measure the effectiveness of Specific Practices (SPs) of Process Areas (PAs) as specified in CMMI Process Model Framework .

Certified Assessor

The Assessment can be conducted by an CMMI Certified Assessor only. The CMMI Institute Certified Assessor is known as Lead Appraiser or High Maturity Lead Appraiser depending on the maturity level to be assessed.

SCAMPI Assessments

CMMI Institute has devised the three classes for Assessment i.e. A, B and C depending on the formalism required in the Assessment. Among these, SCAMPI A Assessment is the most formal and rigorous and results in a Maturity Level Rating for the assessment conducted for an organization.

CMMI Assessment Services

CMMI Assessment Services includes CMMI AS-IS Assessment, CMMI Pre-Assessment and CMMI SCAMPI Assessment.

Benefits

Proven framework for program planning and execution, Measurable impacts on business effectiveness.and Identification of process gaps and institutionalization needs.

OVERVIEW

Capabilty Maturity Model Integration, CMMi is a framework for process improvement and developed by Software Engineering Institute for Software Development, Service Provider and Organisations involved with Acquisitions. Currently there are three models involved that address the following:

The development of Software Products and Services i.e. CMMI-DEV.
The acquisitions of Products and Services i.e. CMMI-ACQ.
The establishment, management and delivery of Services i.e. CMMI-SVC

Maturity Level Details

Maturity levels consist of a predefined set of process areas. The maturity levels are measured by the achievement of the specific and generic goals that apply to each predefined set of process areas. The following sections describe the characteristics of each maturity level in detail.

Maturity Level 1 Initial

At maturity level 1, processes are usually ad hoc and chaotic. The organization usually does not provide a stable environment.

Maturity Level 2 Managed

At maturity level 2, an organization has achieved all the specific and generic goals of the maturity level 2 process areas. In other words, the projects of the organization have ensured that requirements are managed and that processes are planned, performed, measured, and controlled.

Maturity Level 3 Defined

At maturity level 3, an organization has achieved all the specific and generic goals of the process areas assigned to maturity levels 2 and 3. At maturity level 3, processes are well characterized and understood, and are described in standards, procedures, tools, and methods.

Maturity Level 4 Quantitatively Managed

At maturity level 4, an organization has achieved all the specific goals of the process areas assigned to maturity levels 2, 3, and 4 and the generic goals assigned to maturity levels 2 and 3. At maturity level 4, sub-processes are selected that significantly contribute to the overall process performance. These selected sub-processes are controlled using statistical and other quantitative techniques.

Maturity Level 5 Optimizing

At maturity level 5, an organization has achieved all the specific goals of the process areas assigned to maturity levels 2, 3, 4, and 5 and the generic goals assigned to maturity levels 2 and 3. Processes are continually improved based on a quantitative understanding of the common causes of variation inherent in processes.

2. What are the benefits of CMMI Level 5?

.The SEI- CMMI level 5 helps you ensure that your software processes capabilities are known and the organization has the ability to assess and improve processes continuously for improved results.

3. What is process in CMMI?

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) defines a Process Area as, “A cluster of related practices in an area that, when implemented collectively, satisfies a set of goals considered important for making improvement in that area.”

4. What does CMMI value indicate?

The Capability Maturity Model Integration, or CMMI, is a process model that provides a clear definition of what an organization should do to promote behaviors that lead to improved performance.

5 . What are the 5 levels of CMMI?

CMMI Processes are divided into following five levels:

Maturity Level 1 – Initial.

5.Maturity Level 5 – Optimizing.

6. What is meant by CMMI Level 3 company?

CMMI Maturity Level 3 is one of five “Maturity Levels” in the CMMI. Known as the “Defined” level, CMMI Level 3 is achieved when an organization successfully completes a SCAMPI A appraisal, which verifies that the organization is operating at Level 3. … But there is tremendous value in being a better organization.
