Topic: Capability Maturity Model Integration

	Capability Maturity Model - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Capability Maturity Model (CMM) broadly refers to a process improvement approach that is based on a process model.
		A maturity model is a structured collection of elements that describe characteristics of effective processes.
		Further, applying multiple models that are not integrated within and across an organization is costly in terms of training, appraisals, and improvement activities.

	Capability Maturity Model Integration - CMMI - Atlantic Global
		CMMI or Capability Maturity Model Integration is the evolution of a number of process frameworks from the software and engineering disciplines into a single process improvement framework.
		Project management is seen as a key component of the model all the way up to level 4 where quantitative project management plays a key role in attaining this level within the organisation, a level which many organisations see as the pinnacle of the model without needing excessive change or process control.
		Although it is not suggested that the use of AGS will in itself enable a high maturity level within CMMI it should be stated that the use of AGS goes a long way to enabling an organisation to mature in many aspects of the CMMI Framework.

		For example, the CMMI V1.02 Integration Systems/Software Engineering model has retained the five maturity levels of the SW-CMM and a set of corresponding process areas (formerly known as key process areas or KPAs) in the SW-CMM.
		The question remains "Where is the link between measurements, the CMMI's process maturity, and FP?" The SEI's CMMI SE/SW Model 1.02 presents a standard set of software processes to be satisfied before an organization can be appraised at a particular capability maturity level.
		Traditionally, the capability maturity models did not explicitly mention measurement until Level 3: It was assumed to be a common theme underlying the process areas of every level.
