Question

Identify the correct order of the following five levels of Capability Maturity Model (from lower to higher) to measure the maturity of an organization's software process.

• A. Defined
• B. Optimizing
• C. Initial
• D. Managed
• E. Repeatable

Choose the correct answer from the options given below

1. C, A, E, D, B
2. C, B, D, E, A
3. C,E, A, B, D
4. C, E, A, D, B

Answer 1

The Levels in Capability Maturity Model are :

• Initial 
  
   → Everything is maintained on Ad-hoc basis.
  
   → Unstable environment of software development.
  
   → No systematic tracking of schedules, budgets, or progress.
  
   → Highly dependent on individual skills and knowledge.
  
   
• Repeatable
  
   → Experience with earlier projects is used for managing new projects.
  
   → Expenses, Budgets, schedule is done on old projects.
  
   
• Defined
  
   → At this stage, proper documentation of the standard guidelines and procedures.
  
   → In this we give proper training to our team members for enhancement of their knowledge.
  
   
• Managed
  
  → At this stage, quantitative quality goals are set for the organization.
  
  → This quantitative measurements made help the organization to predict the product and process quality.
  
   
• Optimized
  
   → This is the highest level of process maturity in CMM.
  
   → At this stage, we focus on the continuous improvement of the organization’s software processes.
   

 

So, correct order : Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, Optimized.

Option 4, is correct answer.
