SEI CMM (Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model)

The Software Engineering Institute Capability Maturity Model (SEI CMM) is a framework that helps organizations improve their software development processes. It outlines five levels of maturity, ranging from basic practices to optimized procedures. As organizations progress through these levels, they enhance their efficiency, quality, and ability to manage projects. The model provides guidance for assessing current capabilities, identifying weaknesses, and implementing improvements, ultimately aiming for systematic, repeatable, and successful software development practices. In essence, it's a roadmap for becoming better at creating software.
