capability maturity models

Capability Maturity Models are frameworks that help organizations improve their processes and operations. They outline levels of maturity, from initial, where processes are unorganized, to optimized, where practices are well-defined and continually improving. Think of it like a road map for becoming more efficient and effective—each level builds on the previous one, guiding organizations toward better management, consistency, and quality. These models are used across industries to assess current capabilities and identify steps for progress.
