Concept
Software process maturity is the extent to which a specific process is explicitly defined, managed, measured, controlled, and effective Software process maturity is the extent to which a specific process is explicitly defined, managed, measured, controlled, and effective. Maturity implies a potential for growth in capability and indicates both the richness of an organization's software process and the consistency with which it is applied in projects throughout the organization. Software process maturity is the

xtent to which a specific process is explicitly defined, managed, measured, controlled, and effective. Maturity implies a potential for growth in capability and indicates both the richness of an organization's software process and the consistency with which it is applied in projects throughout the organization. Software process maturity implies that the productivity and quality resulting from an organization’s software process can be improved over time through consistent gains in the discipline achieved by using its software process.

 
 
The Capability Maturity Model for Software (CMM or SW-CMM) model judges the maturity of the software processes of an organization and identifies the key practices that are required to increase the maturity of these processes. The CMM levels are classified into key process areas (except Level 1); these key areas are identified as key determiners of process maturity.
 
Enterprise Optimus
Enterprise Optimus, an Enterprise process automation tool, gives an effective means for modeling, defining, and measuring the maturity of the processes used by software professionals thus improving the capabilities of the Enterprise. Enterprise Optimus facilitates the key process areas of CMM, which give a complete definition to the Process Management Approach.
  • Repeatable: Enterprise Optimus with its business rules, planner, Lifecycle Management, Process Management, schedule variance and performance analyzer facilitates well-defined and disciplined processes in the organization
  • Defined: Enterprise Optimus guides an Enterprise towards processes standardization with its rich set of features that facilitate identification of objectives and goals of enterprise, pro-active planning, Process prioritization and strategic management and Metrics Management
  • Managed: Managed, has the processes measured against standards and have predictable results. Enterprise Optimus advocates concept of Management by Projects at the ground level. Enterprise Optimus provides the functionality of Resource Management, Cost Management, Client Management, Risk Management, Issue Management, Change Management and Document Management. Organization Structure, Calendars, Business Rules, Policies and Application Security Processes provide the framework for all these processes. Enterprise Optimus is facilitated by the following concepts
    key business areas:
 
  1. Management By Projects
  2. Management by Deliverables
  3. Management By Exceptions
  4. Management By Knowledge Gained
  • Optimized: Enterprise Optimus facilitates an organization to reach the pinnacle of Maturity, where an enterprise undergoes improvisation and alters its processes to achieve optimum results with its many modules, which represent the essential processes of an enterprise. Enterprise Optimus aims at bringing together enterprise’s processes through Automation.
Apart from automating all the processes of the enterprise, Enterprise Optimus allows it to achieve CMM Level 5, giving substantial benefits for the organization such as More Accurate Budgeting, Increased Software Productivity, and on time delivery.
