The CMM gives a scale to indicate the software engineering capability in an organization, ranging from chaos at level 1 to fully defined, managed and optimized processes at level 5.
Level 1 is the default level you get, but sometimes you wonder whether an organization is worth this default …
In CIMM, the Capability Im-Maturity Model, you can get lower …
- 0 : Negligent
- -1 : Obstructive
- -2 : Contemptuous
- -3 : Undermining

Hey Harry,
You missed one. The other way round there are 5 levels.
Might I suggest level:
-4: Downright destructive

You just hit home !! I totally agree and that would probably explain why most projects go nowhere.
