Capability Maturity Framework

The Capability Maturity Framework (CMF) is a model used to evaluate and improve an organization's processes and practices. It consists of five levels, from basic, chaotic practices to optimized, highly efficient processes. Each level represents a stage of maturity in process management, where organizations can assess their capabilities, identify areas for improvement, and implement structured improvements. The goal is to enhance overall performance, consistency, and quality, allowing organizations to better meet their objectives and adapt to changes in their environment. By progressing through these levels, organizations can achieve greater effectiveness and reliability in their operations.
