CMMI stands for Capability Maturity Model Integration. CMMI is a process model that offers a clear definition of what one should do to promote positive results. There are five Maturity levels that defines most important elements required to build a best product.

The CMMI is also used to help us identify measurable business goals, build high-quality products that are easier to use, create happier customers, and streamline the whole process of building software using lean methodologies.

In CMMI, there are a series of “process areas” that each bring a new level of challenge to the table. Each process area is important and cannot be overlooked! It is important to recognize how these processes change as they move from one CMMI level to the next. However, it is also vital to recognize this: While CMMI can provide you with a great framework for building a scalable product development process, it’s only a starting point. Whether you use CMMI or not, you should always strive toward designing your own optimal solution for your products by evaluating all the possibilities in front of you in order to effectively yield the right results in terms of quality in result in saving costs.
