Level 1) Initial : Here concentrate on the team, team should be very strong. Software project success depends on having high quality people.

Level 2) Repeatable [Managed]: Here concentrate on the repeatability and used well defined guide lines. Software development successes are repeatable. The processes may not repeat for all the projects in the organization. The organization may use some basic project management to track cost and schedule

Level 3) Defined : The software process for both management and engineering activities is documented, standardized, and integrated into a standard software process for the organization.

Level 4) Quantitatively Managed: Detailed measures of the software process and product quality are collected. Both the software process and products are quantitatively understood and controlled.

Level 5) Optimisation : Continuous process improvement is enabled by quantitative feedback from the process and from piloting innovative ideas and technologies.


CMMI : Capability Maturity Model for Integration, if the companies are producing IT and Non-IT products then it is CMMI CMMP : Capability Maturity Model for People these companies give more benefits to people so people will work more satisfaction.
