CMMI is a capability improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes that improve their performance. CMMI, a registered trademark of Carnegie Mellon University, is comprised of a collection of best practices designed to promote improved performance in any organization and is considered a global standard for efficiency. An appraisal at CMMI Maturity Level 3 indicates that an organization is performing at a “Defined” level, meaning standards, processes, procedures, tools, and methods are well-established, clearly defined, widely-understood and utilized, and demonstrate improvement over time.
The International Organization for Standardization (ISO) is a worldwide federation of national standards bodies. ISO 9001:2015 sets out the criteria for a quality management system and is the only standard in the family that can be certified to-. This standard is based on top quality management principles including a strong customer focus, the motivation and implication of top management, the process approach and continual improvement. Using ISO 9001:2015 helps ensure that customers consistently receive good quality products and services.
