Additional information

Description:

Capability Maturity Model Integration ﴾CMMI﴿ is a process improvement approach that helps organizations improves their performance. CMMI can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organization.

CMMI in software engineering is a trademarked process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements for effective process improvement.

According to the Software Engineering Institute ﴾SEI, 2008﴿, CMMI helps "integrate traditionally separate organizational functions, set process improvement goals and priorities, provide guidance for quality processes, and provide a point of reference for appraising current processes."
