SEI Maturity Model for Software Process • A maturity level is a well-defined evolutionary plateau towards achieving a mature process. • Each maturity level provides a layer in the foundation for continuous process improvement. • Each level comprises a set of process goals that stabilize an important component of the software process. • Achieving each level of the maturity framework establishes a component in the process, resulting in an increase in the process capability of the organization.

Performance continuously improves in Level 5 organizations Based on quantitative understanding of process and product, performance continues to improve in Level 4 organizations With well-defined processes, performance improves in Level 3 organizations Plans based on past performance are more realistic in Level 2 organizations Schedule and cost targets are typically overrun by Level 1 organizations.
