CMMI Level 5 Rating

Northrop Grumman has received more than 40 top-level ratings for benchmarking commercial and defense industry best practices for management and engineering, further validating the company’s number-one ranking as a federal systems integrator.

A coalition of industry, the government and the Software Engineering Institute developed the Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) rating system to objectively assess the full range of an organization's software and systems engineering, program management and organizational management capabilities. There are five levels of CMMI maturity. A “5” rating is the highest. The rating is key because higher maturity levels signify lower risks to successful program execution.
