Initially most prevalent in the Department of Defense, aerospace, and federal government sectors, CMMI® has proven successful in manufacturing, automotive, high-tech, and health care, as well as other industries.CMMI® defines the elements required to build great products or deliver great services and combines them into a comprehensive model.
