Question

Your software department was ranked as CMMI's Maturity Level 2 using the Staged Representation Model. The previous review your department was ranked as Level 1. Explain the process areas the department had in effect when ranked as Level 1?

Answer 1

At Level 1, organizations do not have any specific process areas in effect.

Step-by-step explanation:

The **Staged Representation Model** is a framework used by the **Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)** to assess the capability maturity level of organizations. At Level 1, also known as the Initial level, organizations usually have **ad-hoc and chaotic** processes that are not well-defined or repeatable. Therefore, they do not have any specific **process areas** in effect at this level, which means that there are no documented practices or procedures in place.
