Which is the first software capability maturity model (CMM)
level to include a standard software development process?
A. Initial (level 1)
B. Repeatable (level 2)
C. Defined (level 3)
D. Optimizing (level 5)
Answer / guest
Answer: C
Based on lessons learned from level 1 (initial) and level 2
(repeatable), level 3 (defined) initiates documentation to
provide standardized software processes across the
organization. Level 1 (initial) is characterized as ad hoc,
where reliance is placed on key personnel and processes are
not documented. After level 1, level 2 (repeatable) creates
a learning environment where disciplined processes can be
repeated successfully on other projects of similar size and
scope. The ability to quantitatively control software
projects arises on attaining the final level (5) of CMM. At
the attainment of this level, an organization is in a
position to use continuous process improvement strategies in
applying innovative solutions and state-of-the-art
technologies to its software projects.
