CMMI is an outcome-based performance solution model that provides faster, better, and cheaper results for organizations. CMMI is the globally accepted standard that improves and enhances organizational capability and performance. CMMI provides a prioritized pathway to build and implement new capabilities that deliver consistently measurable results and outcomes.

For 30+ years, high-performing organizations have achieved clear, sustainable business results with ISACA^®’s Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI^®) model.

Recognized as a global gold standard for performance improvement, CMMI was originally created for the U.S. Department of Defense to assess the quality and capability of their software contractors, the CMMI model has expanded beyond software engineering to help any organization in any industry build, improve, and measure their capabilities and improve performance.

The CMMI Model is a proven set of evolutionary global best practices that enables organizations to build and benchmark the key capabilities that address the most common business challenges. It is designed to be understandable, accessible, flexible, and integrate with other methodologies such as Agile, SAFe, and DevSecOps to name a few.

A CMMI appraisal helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of an organization’s processes and examines how closely the process relates to CMMI best practices. An appraisal results in providing a reliable, clear, consistent and actionable focus on performance improvements that will have the most impact on the business and help build and improve capability for organizations around the world.
