CMMI, or Capability Maturity Model Integration, is a process improvement framework designed to help organizations enhance their performance. It provides guidelines for developing and refining processes in various areas, such as software development, project management, and service delivery. By following CMMI practices, organizations can achieve better quality, increased efficiency, and improved customer satisfaction. The CMMI model is structured into five maturity levels, ranging from initial to optimizing. Each level represents a different stage of process improvement, with specific goals and practices to achieve. Organizations can assess their current processes and identify areas for growth, ultimately leading to more effective and predictable outcomes.
