What does the CMMI framework primarily aim to improve in an organization?

The CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) framework primarily aims to enhance process maturity and effectiveness within an organization. By providing a structured approach to process improvement, CMMI helps organizations identify their current process capabilities and target specific areas for development.

The framework introduces maturity levels that organizations can aspire to achieve, which guide them in systematically improving their processes over time. This focus on process maturity leads to more predictable and efficient operations, ultimately resulting in higher quality products and services. By streamlining processes, organizations can reduce waste, improve consistency, and foster a culture of continuous improvement.

While aspects like employee morale, financial profitability, and customer satisfaction are certainly important and can be indirectly affected by the adoption of CMMI practices, the core objective of the framework is to enable organizations to improve their processes, thereby enhancing overall organizational performance and effectiveness.
