Background

What is CMMI ?

• Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)
• The best model the industry has to offer for software process improvement
• A common - sense application of process to software development and maintenance.

Cascade Proper

Why CMMI?

• Emphasizes the development of processes to improve development and customer services in organizations

• Level 4 Quantitatively Managed - Process measured and controlled
• Level 3 Defined - Process characterized for the organization and is proactive
• Level 2 Managed - Process characterized for projects and is often reactive
• Level 1 Initial - Process unpredictable, poorly controlled, and reactive.
