ITPEC FE Morning October 2021 Question 50

Optimizing — maturity level 5, the highest in CMMI.

The staged representation of CMMI has five maturity levels:

1. Initial — processes are ad hoc; success depends on individuals
2. Managed — projects are planned, monitored and controlled
3. Defined — processes are standardized across the organization
4. Quantitatively Managed — processes are measured and statistically controlled
5. Optimizing — the measurements drive continuous process improvement

Answer (c)

Why not others:

• •(a) Auditable — not a CMMI maturity level; CMMI appraisals rate processes, but no level carries this name.
• •(b) Custom — not a CMMI maturity level either.
• •(d) Quantitatively Managed — level 4; processes are measured and controlled, but systematic improvement comes only at level 5.

Key rule: The CMMI levels climb from doing the work, to planning it, to standardizing it, to measuring it, and finally to improving it continuously.
