The CMMI is the latest in a series of process improvement models developed by the Software Engineering Institute (SEI) at Carnegie Mellon University. The first of these was developed under contract to the U.S. Department of Defense (DoD) as a means of discriminating between capable contractors and those that weren’t as competent. The original model, first reported in 1987 [22], was called the Process Maturity Model. It defined five levels of maturity and described rather general characteristics pertaining to each level of maturity. The maturity levels were organized somewhat similar to the maturity levels we see in the CMMI: Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, and Optimizing. An assessment methodology was also developed, and the first set of results from that assessment methodology was reported by the SEI in 1987 [23]. The assessment methodology was commercialized in October 1990 when the SEI conducted the first training class for lead assessors. Since that time, most assessments (now known as appraisals) have been conducted by what are now referred to as SEI Partners.
Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)

As a framework, CMMI is used to plan, define, implement, deploy, benchmark, and improve processes in an organization. The product suite, which contains the models, appraisal methods, and training used to support process integration and product or service improvement, defines the levels through which organizations evolve as they improve their processes. In addition, it enables the definition of process improvement priorities and goals, based on business objectives and goals, and identification of the activities that an organization has to undertake to effectively and efficiently develop, maintain, and manage software and systems products and services.
ISO 13053 International Standards for Six Sigma

This particular model is familiar to students of capability maturity model integrated (CMMI). CMMI is a process improvement approach that is designed to improve enterprise-wide performance. CMMI is often used in defense contracts or software-related projects. According to the Software Engineering Institute (SEI), 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.”

Since 1991, CMMs have been deployed for various disciplines, like systems engineering, software engineering, software acquisition, workforce management, and development. Although these models have proved useful to organizations, using multiple models has been problematic (Chrissis et al., 2003). The CMM Integration (CMMI) project was formed to sort out the problem of using multiple CMMs, whose combination into a single improvement framework was intended for use by organizations in their pursuit of enterprise-wide process improvement. In fact, in our thesis, more than 8 MMs have CMMI origin (such as Schumacher et al., 2016; Kerrigan, 2013; Schuh et al., 2016; De Carolis et al., 2017; Canetta & Et. Al, 2018; Sjödin et al., 2018; Pirola, Cimini, Pinto et al., 2019; Bandara et al., 2019; and Li et al., 2019 – see, Appendix A).

In general, the CMMI framework can be summarized in terms of the existence, or not, of formal process management procedures and supporting tools as well as whether process evaluation and improvement activities are being implemented or not by a particular organization. We use these capability perspectives to specify four levels of increasing maturity degrees ranging from low to high maturity, as follows: (1) predominantly informal processes, (2) predominantly formal processes, (3) process performance formally evaluated and (4) process improvement based on formal evaluations.

In a maturity level structure, the focus is on the overall maturity of an entity, as measured by maturity levels. Maturity levels apply to an entity’s improvement achievement across multiple areas. Taking CMMI® (CMMI Product Team 2010) as an example, there are five maturity levels. Each maturity level is composed of a set of practice areas, and all of them must be implemented to achieve a certain maturity level. The progression of maturity levels occurs only when all the practice areas of that level are accomplished (in a cumulative way).
