CMMI^SM stands for Capability Maturity Model Integration. CMMI^SM is a process improvement method that provides a set of best practices that address productivity, performance, costs, and stakeholder satisfaction. Organizations that want to use common, integrated, and improving processes for Systems and Software will find CMMI^SM to be very useful to achieve their goals.

The CMMI^SM is NOT a set of "bolt-on processes" that last only as long as the wheel is squeaking. CMMI^SM provides a consistent, enduring framework that accommodates new initiatives. CMMI^SM facilitates enterprise-wide process improvement, unlike single-discipline models that can result in duplication of work, confusion and higher costs. Process improvement using the CMMI^SM improves predictability of the critical measures of cost, schedule, performance, and customer satisfaction.
