Capability Maturity Model Integration

Acronym : CMMI

CMMI is a maturity model that describes five progression levels (initial, defined, managed, quantitatively managed, optimizing) to assess how well an organization's processes are under control, originally for software development and later extended to other domains.

Why it matters

It provides a common, progressive scale to objectively situate an organization and prioritize improvement efforts, rather than a binary "compliant / non-compliant" judgment.

Concrete example

Kaliteq's diagnostics draw on the CMMI scale to place each assessed domain between "Level 0 · Non-existent" and "Level 4 · Optimized".
