The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a five level maturity framework which outlines the key elements of an effective software process.  It describes in detail a staged evolutionary path to improve software development from an ad hoc, immature process to a mature, optimised and disciplined software development system.  It provides a model for the evaluation of an organisation’s current processes and practices.  CMM focuses on process as a way of empowering the people doing the work. The underlying premise of the CMM is that the quality of software produced is determined by the quality of the process used to develop and maintain it. [SEI]
