"CMM has 5 levels. CMM level 1 is where you operate right now: it denotes the ability to ship something. CMM level 5, the one mentioned in the interview from Kent Beck’s book, denotes complete paralysis. To do anything, you have to write or update so many documents, have so many meetings with “relevant stakeholders”, and to perform so many pointless measurements of the defects/LOC kind, that it’s much more productive to just go postal and at least remove a CMM auditor or two from the face of the Earth in the process. Levels 2 to 4 indicate various intermediate stages where paralysis is spreading, but you can still ship. For example, level 2 is called “Managed Process”. “Managed Process is distinguished by the degree to which the process is Managed”. I’m not making this up. There’s a book called Capability Maturity Model Integration, and this book, heavy enough to kill a human, is full of this sort of stuff. Reading it is impossible."
