Capability Maturity Model (CMM)

Capability Maturity Model (CMM) - The Capability Maturity Model for Software (also known as the CMM and SW-CMM) was developed at the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of Carnegie Mellon University as a model for judging the maturity of the software processes of an organization and forentifying the key practices that are required to increase the maturity of these processes. The model defines five level of maturity and specifies what processes must by in place to achieve those levels, although CMM does not define the processes themselves. In 2000, the SW-CMM was upgraded to CMMI® (Capability Maturity Model Integration). The SEI no longer maintains the SW-CMM model, its associated appraisal methods, or training materials. (Baseline ITIL definition)

Capability Maturity Model (CMM) - A framework that describes the key elements of an effective software process. It's an evolutionary improvement path from an immature process to a mature, disciplined process. The CMM covers practices for planning, engineering and managing software development and maintenance to improve the ability of organizations to meet goals for cost, schedule, functionality and product quality.
