What is CMMI L-3 & L-5?

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) helps organizations streamline process improvement and encourage behaviors that decrease risks in software, product, and service development. The model provides businesses with a framework for developing better products and services, starting with a series of appraisals of process and service development, service establishment and management, and product and service acquisition. Professionals seeking to improve their organization’s development processes - and their careers - should consider pursuing CMMI certification. Certifications are offered directly through the CMMI Institute, which certifies individuals, appraisers, instructors, and practitioners.

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) helps organizations streamline process improvement and encourage behaviors that decrease risks in software, product and service development.

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a process level improvement training and appraisal program. CMMI defines the following maturity levels for processes: Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Managed, and Optimizing.

CMMI Maturity Level 3 is one of five “Maturity Levels” in the CMMI. Known as the “Defined” level, CMMI Level 3 is achieved when an organization successfully completes a SCAMPI A appraisal, which verifies that the organization is operating at Level 3. … But there is tremendous value in being a better organization.

The beauty of CMMI is its different levels of maturity. The more mature your organization becomes, following the CMMI progression/capability levels, the more you become competitive through optimization and quality. Most important to my business and to the value I can provide my customers, is continually improving ROI.
