Question

Match the $\text{5 CMM}$ Maturity levels$\text{/CMMI}$ staged representations in $\textbf{List-I}$ with their characterizations in $\textbf{List-II}$ :

$\begin{array}{clcl}  & \textbf{List-I} && \textbf{List-II} \\ \text{(a)} &  \text{Initial} & \text{(i)} & \text{Processes are improved quantitatively} \\ &&& \text{and continually.} \\ \text{(b)} & \text{Repeatable} & \text{(ii)} & \text{The plan for a project comes from a} \\ &&& \text{template for plans.} \\ \text{(c)} & \text{Defined} & \text{(iii)} & \text{The plan uses processes that can be } \\ &&& \text{measured quantitatively.}  \\  \text{(d)} & \text{Managed} & \text{(iv)} & \text{There may not exist a plan or it may } \\ &&& \text{be abandoned.} \\ \text{(e)} & \text{Optimizing} & \text{(v)} & \text{There’s a plan and people stick to it.}\\ \end{array}$

$\textbf{Code :}$

• A. $\text{(a)-(iv); (b)-(v); (c)-(i); (d)-(iii); (e)-(ii)}$
• B. $\text{(a)-(i); (b)-(ii); (c)-(iv); (d)-(v); (e)-(iii)}$
• C. $\text{(a)-(v); (b)-(iv); (c)-(ii); (d)-(iii); (e)-(i)}$
• D. $\text{(a)-(iv); (b)-(v); (c)-(ii); (d)-(iii); (e)-(i)}$

Levels[edit]

There are five levels defined along the continuum of the model and, according to the SEI: "Predictability, effectiveness, and control of an organization's software processes are believed to improve as the organization moves up these five levels. While not rigorous, the empirical evidence to date supports this belief".^[17]

1. Initial (chaotic, ad hoc, individual heroics) - the starting point for use of a new or undocumented repeat process.
2. Repeatable - the process is at least documented sufficiently such that repeating the same steps may be attempted.
3. Defined - the process is defined/confirmed as a standard business process
4. Capable - the process is quantitatively managed in accordance with agreed-upon metrics.
5. Efficient - process management includes deliberate process optimization/improvement.

 

Answer 1

Option D

Indeed!!

Answer 2

Option d is correct

Answer 3

• Five levels are there in maturity model, these are initial, repeatable, managed, defined, and optimized. 

1. Initial 

   1. It is starting of a new process. There may not exist a plan . These does not provide a stable environment. Organizations have difficulty in making commitments that staff can meet with an orderly engineering process and can result in a crisis. Capability is a characteristic of individuals not the organization.

2. Repeatable 

   1. At this level, policies for managing a software project and procedures to implement the policies are established. Process capability is enhanced by establishing disciplines for a project. Processes may differ between projects. There is a plan and people to stick to it. Tracking of software project is stable in this level.

3. Defined 

   1. At this level, standard process for developing and maintaining software across the organization is documented. There is a group that is responsible for organization’s software process activities. Software process capability is standard and consistent in this level.

4. Managed

   1. At this level, organization sets quantitative goals for both software product and processes. Projects achieve control over their products. Capability of software process English at this level is quantifiable and Get Started predictable. Plan uses processes that can be measured quantitatively.

5. Optimized 

   1. Entire organization is focused on continuous process improvement. In this, team analyse defects to determine the causes. Software processes are evaluated to prevent known defects. Processes are improved quantitatively and continuously.
