The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) model describes a series of maturity levels (initial, managed, defined, quantitatively managed, optimizing) that demonstrates increasing levels of process maturity for a software development organization.
Organizations use CMMI as a framework for process improvement in areas such as causal analysis and resolution and quantitative process management. These areas have significant similarities to Six Sigma tools and approaches and are used for improving key performance metrics by the software project teams.
In this manner, Six Sigma can be used as an effective tool to make improvements within the CMMI framework and make it more robust. How?
