Why do organizations at CMMI Maturity Level 5 (Optimized) earn the ability to proactively evaluate processes?
A.To address special causes of variation and provide statistical predictability.
B.To avoid defects and strive for continuous process improvement.
C.To manage processes quantitatively and narrow the process performance variation.
D.To establish and document standard processes for development and maintenance.
What is the primary characteristic of organizational activities at CMMI Maturity Level 4 (Quantitatively Managed)?
A.Processes are well-defined and documented, with standard plans and work procedures.
B.Processes are standardized and consistent, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
C.Processes are optimized for continuous improvement and incremental changes.
D.Processes are statistically managed, and fine-grained data is used to control process performance.
What is the primary characteristic of organizational activities at CMMI Maturity Level 5 (Optimizing)?
A.Processes are statistically managed, and fine-grained data is used to control process performance.
B.Processes are optimized for continuous improvement by addressing common causes of variation.
C.Processes are quantitatively managed to evaluate quality and process performance.
D.Processes are standardized and consistent, with clearly defined roles and responsibilities.
In the kickoff process statistical example for CMMI Maturity Level 5, what is one of the proposed options for further process optimization?
A.Identifying special variation points for further improvements.
B.Adopting new third-party testing technologies for continuous process improvement.
C.Providing statistical predictability of process performance.
D.Reducing the audience of the kickoff meeting to key roles (Option-1).
What is CMMI Maturity Level 4 (Quantitatively Managed), and what are its three key characteristics?
At CMMI Maturity Level 3, the ________ for developing and maintaining software are established and documented.
A.Development Team
B.Standard process
C.Management Team
D.Central Repository
CMMI is not a process and it does not tell you how to do your work; rather, it tells you ________.
A.what to do to achieve high quality
B.which programming language to use
C.how to manage your project budget
D.how to design user interfaces
Why is simple conformance to requirements not always equivalent to achieving high software quality?
A.Conformance to toxic requirements is too costly for developers
B.Quality cannot be measured objectively by testing teams
C.Toxic requirements are too difficult for developers to understand
D.Requirements are sometimes filled with defects (toxic requirements)
What is the major difference between CMMI Maturity Level 2 (Managed) and CMMI Maturity Level 3 (Defined) regarding processes, standards, and procedures?
A.At Level 3, project processes are tailored from the organization's set of standard processes, whereas at Level 2, processes can be quite different for each project instance.
B.Level 2 is statistically predictable and managed with control charts, while Level 3 relies on ad-hoc tailoring.
C.Level 2 relies entirely on heroes with no documentation, while Level 3 is fully automated with zero human intervention.
D.At Level 3, quality is sacrificed for schedule compliance, whereas Level 2 is highly optimized for continuous process improvement.
What are 'Generic Practices' in the CMMI process model?
A.Expected model components that describe activities that are expected to result in achievement of the generic goal and contribute to the institutionalization of the processes associated with a process area.
B.Expected model components that describe activities expected to result in achievement of the specific goals of a process area.
C.Ad-hoc practices performed by project managers to recover from unexpected development crises.
D.Processes tailored from the organization's set of standard processes to suit a particular project.
