The Capability Maturity Model ( CMM ) ( a registered service mark of Carnegie Mellon University, CMU ) is a development model created after study of data collected from organizations that contracted with the U. S. Department of Defense, who funded the research.

The Capability Maturity Model was originally developed as a tool for objectively assessing the ability of government contractors ' processes to perform a contracted software project.

Watts Humphrey's Capability Maturity Model ( CMM ) was published in 1988 and as a book in 1989, in Managing the Software Process.

The full representation of the Capability Maturity Model as a set of defined process areas and practices at each of the five maturity levels was initiated in 1991, with Version 1. 1 being completed in January 1993.

The Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ) project was formed to sort out the problem of using multiple models for software development processes, thus the CMMI model has superseded the CMM model, though the CMM model continues to be a general theoretical process capability model used in the public domain.

JPMorgan Chase & Co. tried combining XP with the computer programming methods of Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ), and Six Sigma.

The best-known example of SEI work in management practices is the SEI ’ s Capability Maturity Model ( CMM ) for Software ( now Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI )).

Carnegie Mellon, Capability Maturity Model, CMM, CMMI, Architecture Tradeoff Analysis Method, ATAM, and CERT are registered in the U. S. Patent and Trademark Office by Carnegie Mellon University.

Now widely adopted by numerous organizations and agencies, the CM discipline's concepts include ( SE ), integrated logistics support ( ILS ), Capability Maturity Model Integration ( CMMI ), ISO 9000, Prince2 project management methodology, COBIT, Information Technology Infrastructure Library ( ITIL ), product lifecycle management, and application lifecycle management.

To fulfill these needs, Microsoft represents the metamodel of MSF 4. 0 in two prescriptive methodology templates that provide specific process guidance, named Microsoft Solutions Framework for Agile Software Development ( MSF4ASD ) and Microsoft Solutions Framework for Capability Maturity Model Integration Process Improvement ( MSF4CMMI ).

The MSF for Capability Maturity Model Integration Process Improvement ( MSF4CMMI ) has more artifacts, more processes, more signoffs, more planning and is intended for projects that require a higher degree of formality and ceremony.
