In the context of the Maturity Model, what characterizes practices at Level I?

  1. Practices are improvised, ad hoc, and often chaotic.
  2. Practices are formally documented and consistently managed.
  3. Practices are measured and managed with data-driven evidence.
  4. Practices are consistently improved over time.

Answer(s): A

Explanation:

Level I in the Maturity Model represents the lowest level of process maturity, characterized by:

Improvised, Ad Hoc Practices:

Processes are informal, reactive, and lack standardization.

Activities are driven by immediate needs rather than planned procedures.

Chaotic Nature:

Organizations at this level face high variability and inefficiency in their operations.

There is minimal alignment with organizational goals or strategic objectives.

Indicators of Low Maturity:

Poor documentation and lack of repeatability in processes.

High dependency on individual effort rather than institutionalized practices.


Reference:

CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration): Defines Level I as "Initial" with disorganized processes.
