CMMI model has become the industry's main process management model, CMMI model has two representations, continuous representation model and hierarchical representation model. The hierarchical representation model is divided into five levels (initial level, repeatable level, defined level, managed level, optimization level), marking the five levels of maturity of the software enterprise capabilities. The higher the level, the higher the maturity capability of the software organization. CMMI5 is currently the world's software industry's highest requirements for capability maturity, the most difficult to apply for the assessment of the highest level, through the CMMI5 level assessment marks the Company's quality management and process improvement has been among the top level of the global software industry.

From the application for CMMI certification to the completion of the assessment, often about 1 year, including four stages:

Steps/Methods
