There are a total of 24 process areas to defined in the CMMI Service Model. This model is also called as CMMI-SVC. These are divided into 4 groups by Maturity Level. Even though there are 5 Maturity levels, there is none defined for Level 1. The maturity levels Start only from Level 2. For an organization to achieve a specific maturity level, it must be practicing all the practices defined for each of the process area defined for the specific Level. Level 4 & 5 are called as High Maturity Process Areas. I will discuss each of the process areas in my later posts. As the Maturity Level increases, the practices required to be implemented increases. Please note that a higher level includes all the process areas listed in the Previous level.
Now Let us list the process areas, along with their common acronym Used.
Level 1 – Initial
None
Level -2 – Managed
