For 30+ years, high-performing organizations have achieved clear, sustainable business results with the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI®) maturity model.
Originally created for the U.S. Department of Defense to assess the quality and capability of their software contractors, the CMMI Model has expanded beyond software engineering to help organizations around the world, in any industry, understand their current level of capability and performance and offer a guide to optimize business results.
The full CMMI product suite provides proven best practices that integrate with other methodologies such as agile and DevSecOps, to enable businesses to improve performance of their key capabilities, providing a clear roadmap for building, improving, and benchmarking capabilities.
Today, the CMMI Artificial Intelligence Maturity (CMMI AIM) model helps organizations integrate fragmented AI practices and standards into an efficient, structured pathway to AI maturity.
Organizations frequently invest in AI technologies, isolated governance frameworks, and consulting-led implementations that address discrete aspects of AI capability.
Without unified structure and defined maturity progression, these efforts are difficult to scale, measure, or validate at the enterprise level. The results? Fragmented execution, siloed and inconsistent oversight, and diminishing return on AI investment.
CMMI AIM integrates AI best practices and standards into the CMMI framework, enabling structured AI maturity progression and defined capability levels with independent appraisal—providing the enterprise foundation to govern, align, and maximize the value of AI technologies and platforms.
CMMI AIM allows AI-focused organizations benefit from:
The CMMI AIM framework is comprised of key assets including the CMMI Model Viewer Plus, CMMI AIM Training & Certification pathways, and CMMI AIM Appraisal.
CMMI model is a proven set of best practices organized by critical business capabilities which improve business performance. It is designed to be understandable, accessible, flexible, and integrate with other methodologies such as agile.
CMMI Solutions include:
A CMMI Appraisal helps to identify the strengths and weaknesses of an organization’s processes and to examine how closely the processes relate to CMMI best practices. It provides reliable, clear, consistent, and actionable focus on performance improvements that will have the most impact on the business and help build and improve capability.
The appraisal allows organizations to identify and prioritize business improvement efforts. Earning a benchmark maturity level or a capability level achievement can prove a depth of quality and professionalism to customers and business partners!
