CMM - Level 2 - Repeatable

Level 2 is the Repeatable Level.

Repeatable, as the word reveals , means that processes employed in the project are repeatable.Basic project management principles are established to track cost, schedule, and functionality. The necessary process discipline is in place to repeat earlier success on projects with similar applications using best practices from past projects.

An effective process can be characterized as practiced, documented, enforced, trained, measured, and able to improve.

Projects in Level 2 organizations have installed basic software management controls.

Some of the important points are:

- Realistic project commitments are based on the results observed on previous projects and on the requirements of the current project.
- The project managers for a project track software costs, schedules, and functionality; problems in meeting commitments are identified when they arise.
- The project's process is under the effective control of a project management system, following realistic plans based on the performance of previous projects.

Level 2 has got 6 Key Process Areas. They are:

1. Requirements management
2. Software project planning
3. Software project tracking & oversight
4. Software subcontract management
5. Software quality assurance and
6. Software configuration management

Each Key process Area has some Key Practices which are classified under the following categories:

- Commitment to Perform
- Ability to Perform
- Activities
- Measurement and Analysis
- Verifying Implementation
