CMMI Associate Practice Exam

A sustainment appraisal is intended to be conducted every 24 months following a Benchmark appraisal. The purpose of a sustainment appraisal is to evaluate whether an organization continues to maintain the level of maturity and process improvements that were achieved during the Benchmark appraisal. This type of appraisal helps organizations ensure that their practices remain aligned with the goals and standards set during the initial assessment and allows them to identify any areas that may need further improvement or adjustment over time. By regularly conducting sustainment appraisals, organizations can monitor their progress and effectiveness in implementing the CMMI framework, ensuring sustained growth and excellence in their processes.

This appraisal period following the Benchmark is crucial for maintaining momentum and ensuring that the positive changes initiated during the initial assessment do not diminish.
