B.Processes are standardized and consistent, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
C.Processes are optimized for continuous improvement and proactive defect prevention.
D.Processes are quantitatively managed using statistical and other quantitative techniques.
Which level of CMMI focuses on addressing special causes of variation and providing statistical predictability of the results?

A.Focusing on incremental changes in process performance.
B.Choosing only the processes critical to specific business units.
C.Achieving the goals of the process areas associated with each maturity level.
D.Adopting new technologies to improve process capability.
Which of the following describes how process performance is managed and predicted at CMMI Maturity Level 4 (Quantitatively Managed)?
A.Process performance is managed through ad hoc Skype calls and project plans with no statistical data.
B.Processes are controlled using statistical and other quantitative techniques, and predictions are based on statistical analysis of fine-grained process data.
C.Processes are continually optimized solely by adopting new technologies and methods without establishing baselines.
D.Processes are managed by relying heavily on key 'Heroes' whose departure disables the project performance.
