What is CMMi?
CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model® Integration) is an integrated set of best practices that enable businesses to improve the performance of their key business processes. This model was developed by product teams with members from the industry and CMMI Institute.
The architecture and design of the CMMI V2.0 Product Suite is a radical departure from its predecessors to make it more useful and adoptable for customers and businesses. One of the key drawbacks of complex maturity models is the time and resources it takes to make updates and keep them current with business, technology trends, and market demands. To address this challenge, the architecture of CMMI was specifically designed to be flexible, agile, and evolve as these and other factors change. This enables rapid development and the addition of relevant new content at the speed of business, technology, and change.
CMMI provides guidance for applying this set of best practices in a business or organization, to ensure quality and timely solutions that delight customers and end-users. Every company or organization can benefit from improving performance and reducing risk. The CMMI provides a roadmap that guides improvement from ad hoc activities to disciplined and consistent processes for achieving business objectives related to:
- Performance
- Quality
- Cost
- Schedule
- Functionality
