What is the role of capability levels in the continuous representation?

To measure the capability of individual process areas

To rank process areas by business importance

To determine the organization's overall maturity

To define the order in which process areas must be implemented

In a continuous representation assessment, the test execution process area is at Capability Level 2 (Managed). What does this mean for the process?

The process is quantitatively managed using statistical techniques.

The process is performed but not managed, and may be ad hoc.

The process is planned, monitored, and controlled, and its work products are appropriately managed.

The process is defined and standardized across the organization.

An organization is using the staged representation and wants to move from Maturity Level 2 to Maturity Level 3. What is required for this transition?

The organization must first achieve Level 3 in a few selected process areas.

The organization can skip Level 3 and go directly to Level 4 if they wish.

All process areas must achieve the defined capability level for Level 3.

Only the weakest process areas need to be improved to Level 3.

What must an organization achieve to be at a given maturity level in the staged representation?

Only the process areas in that specific level

All process areas in that level and all lower levels

A certain number of process areas at any level

A minimum capability level in each process area

In the continuous representation of process improvement, what is the primary unit of assessment?

Maturity level of the entire organization

Number of process areas implemented

Capability level of an individual process area

Overall organizational readiness
