– adhoc, chaotic, few process defined, success depends on individual

efforts

Level 2: Repeatable

– Project management to track cost,schedule and functionality.

Disciplined to repeat earlier success.

Level 3: Defined

– Management and engineering activities are

documented, standardized and integrated into an organization-wide SW process.
