CMM Level: ISO 9000 Standards

The ISO 9000 standards provide guidelines for maintaining a quality system and production process, but not for the product itself. There are three main ISO standards - ISO 9001 for design, production, and servicing of goods; ISO 9002 for production-only organizations; and ISO 9003 for installation and testing. The SEI Capability Maturity Model (CMM) specifies five levels for software development organizations, with higher levels indicating better processes. Level 1 is initial/chaotic, Level 2 is repeatable project management, Level 3 adds documented and standardized processes, Level 4 uses measurements for control and predictability, and Level 5 continuously improves processes and achieves objectives.

ISO 9000 Standards

The ISO 9000 standard determines the guidelines for maintaining a quality system. ISO 9000
defines a set of guidelines for the production process and is not directly concerned about the
product itself.

Types of ISO 9000 Quality Standards

1. ISO 9001: This standard applies to the organizations engaged in design, development,
production, and servicing of goods. This is the standard that applies to most software
development organizations.
2. ISO 9002: This standard applies to those organizations which do not design products but are
only involved in the production. Examples of these category industries contain steel and car
manufacturing industries that buy the product and plants designs from external sources and
are engaged in only manufacturing those products. Therefore, ISO 9002 does not apply to
software development organizations.
3. ISO 9003: This standard applies to organizations that are involved only in the installation and
testing of the products. For example, Gas companies.

SEI Capability Maturity Model

The Software Engineering Institute (SEI) Capability Maturity Model (CMM) specifies an
increasing series of levels of a software development organization. The higher the level, the better
the software development process, hence reaching each level is an expensive and time-consuming
process. CMM LEVEL
 Level One: Initial - The software process is characterized as inconsistent, and occasionally even chaotic. Defined processes and
standard practices that exist are abandoned during a crisis. Success of the organization majorly depends on an individual effort,
talent, and heroics. The heroes eventually move on to other organizations taking their wealth of knowledge or lessons learnt with
them.
 Level Two: Repeatable - This level of Software Development Organization has a basic and consistent project management processes
to track cost, schedule, and functionality. The process is in place to repeat the earlier successes on projects with similar applications.
 Program management
Level Three: Defined -isThe

management and engineering activities are documented, standardized, and
integrated into a standard software process for the entire organization and all projects across the organization use an approved,
tailored version of the organization's standard software process for developing, testing and maintaining the application.
 Level Four: Managed - Management can effectively control the software development effort using precise measurements. At this
level, organization set a quantitative quality goal for both software process and software maintenance. At this maturity level, the
performance of processes is controlled using statistical and other quantitative techniques, and is quantitatively predictable.
 Level Five: Optimizing - The Key characteristic of this level is focusing on continually improving process performance through both
incremental and innovative technological improvements. At this level, changes to the process are to improve the process
performance and at the same time maintaining statistical probability to achieve the established quantitative process-improvement
objectives.
