About CMMI

Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®) is a process improvement framework developed and maintained by ISACA. CMMI is a proven set of global best practices that drives business performance through building and benchmarking key capabilities. It can be used to guide process improvement across a project, a division, or an entire organisation.

CMMI is a framework for process improvement that provides organisations with essential elements of effective processes. It helps organisations to enhance their capabilities to develop and maintain quality products and services.

The CMMI Institute has been evolving the CMMI model over the years. In 2018 they released CMMI v2.0 for Development, CMMI for Services and CMMI for Supplier Management.

On 6 April 2023 ISACA released the latest version of the CMMI model - CMMI Ver 3.0. In addition to the CMMI V2.2 domains: Development, Services, Suppliers, Safety, and Security, ISACA has introduced new domains for Data, People and Virtual.
