We have to allocate those costs across all our actions or we won’t have an accurate reflection of our investment. Without an accurate model of our investment, we can’t calculate the return on our investment.

CMMI Levels and RMM Level 2 – Organized Requirements

Posted on:

In our introduction to mapping RMM levels to CMMI levels, we presented background info on CMMI, introduced the IBM article on RMM levels, and posted an initial mapping structure. In this article, we will look at the definition of RMM level 2. We also cover the tradeoffs and benefits of the practices it requires. Finally, we look at the mapping from RMM level 2 to various CMMI levels.
