NashTech gains CMMI Maturity Level 5, Version 2.0

Maturity Level 1: initial

Businesses at this maturity level lack planning that can inform their decisions. They tend to lack processes that help them to account for current spending or future financial planning. Their lack of foresight usually leads to poor sustainability planning.

Maturity Level 2: managed

Companies within this heading can accomplish specific goals, with proper planning, management, and execution. These organisations also have feedback mechanisms in place to monitor and improve their processes going forward. 

Maturity Level 3: defined

Organisations can accomplish goals set forward in Levels 2 and 3. Their processes are well-documented and understood. Companies who fall into this category can explain each of their processes and what they do. They are also aware of the scope of those processes and the standards they conform to. The procedures are proactive in trying to ensure that the business is continually improving in its efforts.

Maturity Level 4: quantitatively managed

At this level, the business is managed using statistical data and techniques that utilise the information to improve them in a manner that affects those metrics. Companies at Level 4 achieve the goals outlined in the previous three levels too. At Level 3, only the quality of the improvements can be predicted accurately. At Level 4, the exact value of the development can be determined precisely.

Maturity Level 5: optimising

This maturity level focuses on constant improvement. By focusing on the quantitative methodology established at the previous level, a business can innovate to optimise their current processes. This innovation is the core of the improvement process at maturity level 5. Feedback from the previous standard can help the business be aware of whether it’s hitting its goals or if something needs to change. Companies at Level 5 also can achieve all the goals outlined in the previous levels.
