Abstract
This chapter is focused on the implementation of maturity level 2 in an organization. A CMMI level 2 organization has policies for managing a project, and procedures to implement these policies have been established. Practices are in place to ensure that the process is planned, performed, and controlled, and the process is enforced with independent audits.

Some organizations may have a lot of the expected deliverables in place. Further, the use of tools to support the process may reduce the need for deliverables (e.g. the risk and issue logs may be automated). Some organizations may implement some of the level 3 process areas associated with project management (e.g. risk management) at this stage. The deliverables in Fig. 5.3 are an example of what may be produced.
