At this level, projects have ensured that processes are planned and executed in accordance with policy; the projects employ skilled people who have adequate resources to produce controlled outputs; involve relevant stakeholders; are monitored, controlled, and reviewed; and are evaluated for adherence to their process descriptions.

Our CMMI appraisal results reflect our dedication to this commitment, continual process improvement, and our passion to provide excellence.”
