Capability Maturity Model Integration CMMI

Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI®) is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes.[1] CMMI best practices are published in documents called models, which each address a different area of interest. There are now two areas of interest covered by CMMI models: Development and Acquisition.

The current release of CMMI is Version 1.2. There are two version 1.2 models now available:
CMMI for Development (CMMI-DEV), Version 1.2 was released in August 2006. It addresses product and service development processes.

CMMI for Acquisition (CMMI-ACQ), Version 1.2 was released in November 2007. It addresses supply chain management, acquisition, and outsourcing processes in government and industry.
Regardless of which model you choose, CMMI best practices should be adapted to each individual organization according to its business objectives. Organizations cannot be CMMI "certified." Instead, an organization is appraised (e.g., using an appraisal method like SCAMPI) and is awarded a 1-5 level rating. The rating results of such an appraisal can be published if released by the appraised organization.[2]
