Table 4.1 displays each maturity level and its associated process areas.
In the staged representation, the maturity levels serve as process boundaries??”
meaning that the efforts documented in that maturity level relate only to that maturity
level. For example, Requirements Management is a Level 2 process area. The
next process area in Level 2 is Project Planning. Then there is Project Monitoring
and Control, Supplier Agreement Management, Measurement and Analysis, Process
and Product Quality Assurance, and Configuration Management. So, to be considered
a Maturity Level 2 organization, the projects undergoing process improvement
need to satisfy the goals for all of the process areas for Maturity Level 2.
In Maturity Level 3, there are the following process areas:
Requirements Development
Technical Solution
Product Integration
n n n
44 n Interpreting the CMMI
Verification
Validation
Organizational Process Focus
Organizational Process Definition + Integrated Product and Process Development
(IPPD)
Organizational Training
Integrated Project Management + Integrated Product and Process Development
(IPPD)
Risk Management
Decision Analysis and Resolution
So, an organization seeking to be Maturity Level 3 would need to structure
their process improvement program to satisfy the goals for both Level 2 and Level 3.
