Abstract
The Capability Maturity Model (CMM©) is a process maturity model which enables an organization to define and evolve its software processes. It is a premise in software engineering that there is a close relationship between the quality of the delivered software product and the quality and maturity of the underlying software processes. Consequently, it is important for a software organization to devote attention to the software processes as well as to the product. The CMM is a framework by which an organization may mature its software processes. It has been influenced by the ideas of some of the leading figures in the quality movement, such as Crosby, Deming, and Juran, etc.
