Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Answer: A, B, E, C, D (Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, Optimizing)
Correct sequence (full names): Initial → Repeatable → Defined → Managed → Optimizing
Initial — processes are ad hoc and chaotic; success depends on individual effort.
Repeatable — basic project management practices are established so similar projects can be repeated successfully.
Defined — organization-wide standard processes are documented and integrated.
Managed — processes are measured and controlled using quantitative techniques.
Optimizing — continuous process improvement is enabled by quantitative feedback and innovations.
Reason: The only answer that lists the levels in the SEI CMM order Initial, Repeatable, Defined, Managed, Optimizing is the sequence A, B, E, C, D. Other sequences either place Repeatable or Defined in the wrong positions.
