What is CMMI?
Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a model for improving the capability maturity of software development processes. CMMI was developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) of the U.S. Carnegie Mellon University. It assesses and evaluated the organizational maturity at five levels. The model is recognized as an indicator that resembles international standards as well as those in the United States. Compatibility with ISO/IEC 15504 is taken into account.
