What describes the evolutionary levels of practices within a Practice Area?

• A. Evolutionary levels 0-5 of practices
• B. Evolutionary levels 1-4
• C. Levels 0-6
• D. Levels 2-5

Answer: (A)

In CMMI, evolutionary levels describe how a Practice Area’s practices are implemented and matured over time. The standard model uses six levels, numbered 0 through 5, to show progression from not performed to optimizing. Specifically, level 0 means not performed or incomplete; level 1 is performed in an initial, ad hoc way; level 2 is planned and managed; level 3 is defined and standardized; level 4 is quantitatively managed; and level 5 is optimized for continuous improvement. Because the model describes six levels from 0 to 5, the correct range for the evolutionary levels of practices within a Practice Area is 0-5. The other options don’t align with this six-level framework.
