In which year was the CMMI framework first introduced?

The CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) framework was first introduced in 2000. This framework was developed to provide organizations with a structured approach to improve their processes and performance. It integrated previous models, including CMM for Software and other related disciplines, to create a comprehensive framework that could be used across various types of projects and industries.

By starting the initiative in 2000, the framework aimed to respond to the growing complexity and requirements of modern software and systems development. Organizations began to adopt CMMI as a way to enhance their capability, maturity, and ultimately, their performance in delivering products and services.
