ABSTRACT CMMI defines the practices that are specially implemented by software development businesses to achieve success. Practices includes topics that direct about eliciting and managing requirements, decision making, measuring performance, planning work, handling risks, and more. In this paper we will discuss Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) software process improvement maturity model and the process areas at various levels of CMMI in brief.
The main emphasis of the paper is to discuss about the Risk Management (RSKM) which is one of process area at CMMI level-3. The purpose of Risk Management (RSKM) processes is to identify potential problems before they occur so that risk-handling activities can be planned and invoked as needed across the life of the product or project to mitigate adverse impacts on achieving objectives. The main aim of the paper is to analyse the effect of integrating the CMMI maturity level-3(process area -RSKM) with the traditional software development process. It represents an attempt to organize the sources of software development risk around the principal aspects of the software development cycle.
