What is CMMI? A model to optimize development processes

The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI), a process and behavioral model, was developed by the Software Engineering Institute at Carnegie Mellon University as a process improvement tool for projects, divisions, or organizations. The DoD and US government helped develop the CMMI, which is a common requirement for DoD and US government software development contracts. The CMMI is currently administered by the CMMI Institute, purchased by the ISACA in 2016.
