The Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM or SW-CMM) is a model for judging the maturity of the software processes of an organization and for identifying the key practices that are required to increase the maturity of these processes.

The SW-CMM has been developed by the software community with stewardship by the SEI.
Version 1.1 was released in 1993.
