Process of System Development
System development process – a set of activities, methods, best
practices, deliverables, and automated tools that stakeholders use to
develop and continuously improve information systems and software.

o Create efficiencies that allow management to shift
resources between projects
o Produces consistent documentation that reduces
lifetime costs to maintain the systems
o Promotes quality
CMM Process Management Model
Capability Maturity Model (CMM) – a standardized framework
for assessing the maturity level (quality) of an organization’s
information system development and management processes
and products. It consists of five levels of maturity:
• Level 1—Initial: System development projects follow no
prescribed process.
• Level 2—Repeatable: Project management processes and
practices are established to track project costs,
schedules, and functionality.
• Level 3—Defined: Standard system development process
(methodology) is purchased or developed. All projects use
a version of this process.
• Level 4—Managed: Measurable goals for quality and
productivity are established.
• Level 5—Optimizing: The standardized system development
process (methodology) is continuously monitored and
improved based on measures and data analysis
established in Level 4.
