Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)

Capability Maturity Model or CMM is a reference model of mature practices in a specified discipline, used to assess a group’s capability to perform that discipline. In fact there are a number of CMMs. They differ by discipline (software, systems, acquisition, etc.), structure (staged versus continuous), how maturity is defined (process improvement path), and how capability is defined (institutionalization). Hence “Capability Maturity Model®” and CMM® are used by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) to denote a particular class of maturity models.

Software CMM, the one we saw earlier on, is one of the many CMM models.
