PMP® Exam Quality Primer: Quality Concepts - SEI CMMI (#6 in the series PMP® Exam Quality Primer)
By Samuel T. Brown, III, PMP, Global Knowledge Course Director and Instructor
The SEI (Software Engineering Institute) at Carnegie Mellon University developed the CMM, also known as the SW-CMM (Capability Maturity Model for Software) to serve as a model for organizations to identify best practices useful in helping them increase the maturity of their processes.
The maturity levels that organizations seek range from 0, where the organization has incomplete processes and tasks are not repeatable, to a maturity level of 5, where organizations are optimizing their current processes and continuously seeking improvement. The capability levels are:
- Incomplete
- Performed
- Managed
- Defined
- Quantitatively managed
- Optimizing
