CMMI Certification (Level 1-5)

CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) is a proven industry framework to improve product quality and development efficiency for both hardware and software

CMMI, staged, uses 5 levels to describe the maturity of the organization

CMMI has been established as a model to improve business results

1. CERTIFICATION CMMI

2. Introduction CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) is a proven industry framework to improve product quality and development efficiency for both hardware and software CMMI, staged, uses 5 levels to describe the maturity of the organization CMMI has been established as a model to improve business results

3. Different Levels of CMMI

4. 5 Maturity Levels

5. CMMI helps in: CMMI provides a way to focus and manage hardware and software development from product inception through deployment and maintenance . Initially a lot of investment required but , if properly managed, we will be more efficient and productive while turning out products with consistently higher quality.

6. Brief about different CMMI level Level 1 (Initial) Processes are unpredictable, poorly controlled, reactive Level 2 (Managed) Processes are planned, documented, performed, monitored, and controlled at the project level.

7. Brief about different CMMI level Level 3 (Defined) Processes are well characterized and understood. Processes, standards, procedures, tools, etc. are defined at the organizational level . Level 4 (Quantitatively Managed) Processes are controlled using statistical and other quantitative techniques.

8. Brief about different CMMI level Level 5 (Optimizing) Process performance continually improved through incremental and innovative technological improvements.

9. CMMI Level 1

10. CMMI Level 1 Maturity Level 1 deals with performed processes. Processes are unpredictable, poorly controlled, reactive. The process performance may not be stable and may not meet specific objectives such as quality, cost, and schedule, but useful work can be done.

11. Why not CMMI Level 1 It is distinctive of processes at this level that processes are typically undocumented and in a state of lively change, tending to be driven in an ad hoc basis (Need based process), uncontrolled and reactive manner by users or events / requirements. This provides a confused or wobbly environment for the processes.

12. Why not CMMI Level 1 This state can even be identified by the organisation via internal audit itself. There is no need for third party audit for the Level 1. Even not having certification is better option than acquiring CMMI Level 1.

13. CMMI Level 2

14. CMMI Level 2 It is characteristic of processes at this level that some processes are repeatable, possibly with consistent results . Process discipline is unlikely to be rigorous, but where it exists it may help to ensure that existing processes are maintained during times of stress.

15. CMMI Level 2 Organisation may perform its task in efficient manner, but it reflect that organisation may not handle the different task simultaneously. Such organisation may requires time to establish the system in the organisation to handle new task

16. Maturity Level 2 in CMMI

17. CMMI Level 3

18. CMMI Level 3 This means that organization’s engineering processes are defined for process areas such as Decision Analysis and Resolution, Integrated Project Management, Organizational Process Definition, Organizational Training, etc. Rating for Maturity Levels are awarded for levels 2 through 5 . Note: T hat the CMMI is not intended as a ranking system, however. The CMMI is a model that guides us on how to be a great products and engineering company.

19. Maturity Level 3 in CMMI

20. CMMI Level 4

21. CMMI Level 4 At maturity level 4, the organization and projects establish quantitative objectives for quality and process performance and use them as criteria in managing projects . A critical distinction between maturity levels 3 and 4 is the predictability of process performance. At maturity level 4, the performance of projects and selected sub processes is controlled using statistical and other quantitative techniques, and predictions are based, in part, on a statistical analysis of fine-grained process data.

22. Maturity Level 4 in CMMI

23. CMMI Level 5

24. CMMI Level 5 T he highest (5th) level is a theoretical idyllic situation where processes would be systematically managed by a combination of process optimization and continual process improvement . Key Process Area identifies a cluster of related activities that, when performed together, achieve a set of goals considered important.

26. Benefits of CMMI Level

27. BENEFITS OF IMPLEMENTING CMMI Principles for maintaining Quality in projects starts in the mind of the subordinate programmers to the senior programmers and project managers . Centralized QMS for implementation in projects to ensure uniformity in the documentation which means less learning cycle for new resources, improved management of project status .  Integration of Software Engineering Best Practices in the Organizations as described in CMMI Model.

28. Benefits of implementing CMMI in an IT / Software Development Organization Market Demand  Performance Demand  Process Improvement  Cost saving in terms of lesser effort due to less defects and less rework .   This also results in increased Productivity  On-Time Deliveries  Increased Customer Satisfaction  Consistency  Overall increased Return on Investment  Decreased Costs

29. Disadvantage of CMMI

30. Disadvantages of CMMI   CMMI may not be suitable for every organization.  It may add overhead in terms of documentation.  May require additional resources and knowledge required in smaller organizations to initiate CMMI-based process improvement. May require a considerable amount of time and effort for implementation. Require a major shift in organizational culture and attitude.

31. Procedure

32. Process of getting CMMI

33. SUGGESTION We should acquire ISO then go to CMMI level certification as they are costly and we need proper documentation practice. But if we are implementing CMMI we have to be careful as it requires more commitment level. Documentation will be more and may be we have to change our work culture according to the requirements.
