It is the cetification for the company. It specifies the maturity of the organisation in terms of level.

There r 5 levels:

Level 1. Initial - all company's are considered to be Intial even though there is no certification.

Level 2. Repeatable: there are 6 KPA's

Level 3. Defined : there are 7 KPA's in this level

Level 4.Managed : There are 2 KPA's in this level

Level 5.Optimized : there are 3 KPA's in this level

Totally there are 18 KPA's for Level 5 certified company.

I mean a company should satisfy all 18 KPA's then only it can get/maintain the cetification.

KPA (Key Process Area's) : Areas that an organisation should focus on to improve its s/w process.

CMM used to identify the current status of s/w process and then to find the strength and weakness.

CMMI : CMM consists of best practices for product development and maintainance.There are 3 important components in any organization1. People 2. Procedures and Methods 3.ToolsProcesses hold them together.The Quality of the product is highly influenced by the Quality of the processes used to develop and maintain it.Level 1:Initial:Adhoc?will have success, failures and badly missed deadlines.Level 2:Repetable:S/w processes are defined, documented, practiced and people are trained in them. Different Groups with in the same organization may follow different processesLevel 3:Defined:S/w Processes are consistent and known across the whole organization.Level 4:Managed:s/w Processes and results are measured quantitatively and processes are evaluated with this data.Level 5:Optimizing:continous process improvement. Experimenting with new methods and technologies.Problems with CMM: It is a goal; not a method
