Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is divided in five levels:

1. Initial: The organization is characterized by an adhoc set of activities. The PROCESSES aren't DEFINED and success depends on individual effort and heroics.

2. Repeatable: In this level some processes are repeatable, possibly with consistent results.

3. Defined: In this level, we define all processes are documented for both management and engineering activities, and standards.

4. Managed: Detailed measures of each process are defined and product quality data is routinely collected. Both process and PRODUCTS are quantitatively understood and controlled.

5. Optimizing: In this we optimize the application by following improvement process.
