In the CMM each maturity level (with the exception of Level 1) is composed of several key process areas.  Each Key Process Area (KPA) identifies a cluster of related activities which when performed collectively achieve a set of defined goals which are considered essential for enhancing process capability for that particular maturity level.  Key process areas are organised by common features.  These common features address the implementation and institutionalisation of the defined goals and are made up of key practices.  The key practices describe activities or infrastructure that must be carried out or put in pace to achieve the defined goals.
