Currently, they are implemented in thousands of international organizations both public and private, with a wide range of sizes and types of products and services application.<\/p>\n<p>Each model is defined by different categories of process area and each of them described in terms of specific and generic practices. They have to be implemented to achieve the goals set for each process area.<\/p>\n<p>The Assessment of compliance of implementations is supported by two documents:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>ARC: Appraisal Requirements for CMMI.<\/li>\n<li>SCAMPI : Method Description Document.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>THINK&#038;SELL provides the following services:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Consultancy Service for setting strategy and implementation plans of the areas of process by maturity levels or specific processes.<\/li>\n<li>Evaluation Services according\u00a0to SCAMPI, class A, B or C<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At THINK&#038;SELL we have experience in implementing and evaluating maturity levels 2, 3, 4 and 5.
