Match the 5 CMM Maturity levels/CMMI staged representations in List-I with their characterizations in List-II :
\(\begin{array}{clcl} & \textbf{List-I} && \textbf{List-II} \\ \text{(a)} & \text{Initial} & \text{(i)} & \text{Processes are improved quantitatively} \\ &&& \text{and continually.} \\ \text{(b)} & \text{Repeatable} & \text{(ii)} & \text{The plan for a project comes from a} \\ &&& \text{template for plans.} \\ \text{(c)} & \text{Defined} & \text{(iii)} & \text{The plan uses processes that can be } \\ &&& \text{measured quantitatively.} \\ \text{(d)} & \text{Managed} & \text{(iv)} & \text{There may not exist a plan or it may } \\ &&& \text{be abandoned.} \\ \text{(e)} & \text{Optimizing} & \text{(v)} & \text{There’s a plan and people stick to it.}\\ \end{array} \)

Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: D
Correct matching and brief rationale:
Initial — There may not exist a plan or it may be abandoned.
Repeatable — There’s a plan and people stick to it (project-level processes are repeatable).
Defined — The plan for a project comes from a template for plans (organizational standards and defined processes).
Managed — The plan uses processes that can be measured quantitatively (process performance is measured and controlled).
Optimizing — Processes are improved quantitatively and continually (continuous process improvement based on measurement).
Therefore the correct mapping is: Initial → (there may not exist a plan …), Repeatable → (there’s a plan and people stick to it), Defined → (plan from a template), Managed → (measured processes), Optimizing → (quantitative continual improvement).
