Process Areas

• Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a globally recognized framework that helps organizations improve their processes, enhance product quality, and increase overall performance.
• CMMI is structured into Practice Areas, which define specific process capabilities that organizations must implement and manage. These practice areas are grouped into three major categories:
  • Doing– Focuses on engineering and project execution activities.
  • Managing– Ensures monitoring, control, and quality assurance.
  • Enabling– Supports organizational improvement and infrastructure.
• By implementing these practice areas effectively, organizations can achieve process maturity, reduce risks, improve predictability, and deliver high-quality products and services.
