CAPABILITY MATURITY MODEL

CMM stands for Capability Maturity Model. This was developed by Software Engineering Institute(SEI). This is a well known benchmark for judging the quality level of the processes in the organization. CMM defines five levels determined on the basis of organisation’s support for certain “key” process areas known as KPAs. The five levels are:
