The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a framework developed by the Software Engineering Institute to assess and improve the software development process of an organization. It provides five levels of process maturity that can enhance effectiveness from an initial, inconsistent level to an optimized level of continuous process improvement. The CMM helps standardize processes, address engineering issues, and ensure software capabilities are assessed and guaranteed given the high costs and impacts of software development.
Your organization deals with many challenges presented by internal and external accountability demands. You are always looking for ways to improve operations, to anticipate and be more responsive to competitive pressures, and to define meaningful performance goals that render your work concrete in stakeholders’ eyes. Creating a dashboard or scorecard can help. A dashboard can be an excellent tool for focusing board and CEO attention on what matters most. It can help overcome asymmetry between the precision of financial and mission measures. This lesson, developed by National Arts Strategies in partnership with Peter Frumkin, Ph.D., can be used to help you build a scorecard or dashboard for your organization.
One of the ways to achieve mission and financial sustainability is to develop flexibility in the system. Flexibility allows an organization to be more adaptive and creative in a changing environment, and allows leadership to thoughtfully respond to these changes rather than react in ways that may damage the organization in the longer-term. Both revenue and expense provide opportunities for increasing flexibility. This discussion-based lesson, developed by National Arts Strategies in partnership with Peter Frumkin, Ph.D., will help your senior team examine and discuss your financial flexibility.

Quality in project management needs to be better understood. At its most basic, quality is about fitness for purpose: does a product, or project output, meet the stated requirement?
Microsoft Project in Manufacturing and Resources - Presented by AtidanDavid J Rosenthal
In these demanding economic times, many executives are facing sharper scrutiny of their discretionary spending. This increases the importance of effectively identifying, selecting, and delivering product portfolios that best align with an organization’s business strategy. Best-practice portfolio selection techniques provide a handshake between value optimization — that is, alignment with business priorities and maximizing ROI — and resource utilization, meaning the understanding of resource capabilities and availability. Together, these techniques help PMOs recommend not only which product to undertake, but to forecast their delivery.
Vision
Organizations can make business strategies more objective by adopting structured techniques for defining, prioritizing, and communicating business imperatives, and consistently evaluating each competing initiative that contributes to strategic priorities. Adopting a structured portfolio selection process helps organizations accomplish the following:
Define and communicate the business strategy: Many organizations publish mission statements and high-level strategic objectives. Few of them, however, break down their strategy into actionable, measurable, and unique business drivers. Defining and effectively communicating the business strategy provides a blueprint that organizational departments can understood and implement.
Drive executive consensus around business driver priorities: Objectively prioritizing the business strategy and driving executive consensus can help your organization more effectively assess competing initiatives and select the optimal portfolio.
Objectively prioritize competing products from multiple dimensions: Prioritizing products by using a variety of value measurements (e.g., strategic value, financial value, and risk) provides a framework for assessing requests from multiple dimensions and for creating a common currency with which to make comparisons.
Identify the optimal portfolio under varying budget and portfolio constraints: Facing budget cuts or requests that exceed the allocated budget creates a daunting task for PMOs. Additional variables, such as inter-product dependencies and regulatory requirements, can further compound the problem, creating a challenge in effectively modeling scenarios that will help identify the right products for an organization to undertake. Accurately capturing realistic cost and benefit estimates for products early in their lifecycle helps executives effectively select portfolios that maximize ROI under varying budget constraints and measure financial performance during product execution.
Effectively communicate tradeoffs: Budget, available resources, dependencies, pet products, and compliance requirements can potentially affect the overall value of selected product portfolios. Being able to identify and alter constraints helps PMOs communicate tradeoffs to the executive team and enhance the potential value gained from the resulting
Understanding the different types of projects and project team member roles will help ensure everyone on the team is aligned and one step closer to a successful engagement. Here’s a guide to project roles and responsibilities.

Learning from lessons of the past projects is essential for organisations and projects to prevent mistakes from happening over and over again. Lessons Learned repositories are identified as important Organisational Process Assets (OPS), and evaluating the lessons in such repositories in key stages of the project is strongly emphasized in the PMBoK. However, many companies fail to implement successful lessons learned programs and cannot convince PMs and project teams to spend their scarce resources for learning.

System Development Life Cycle – Implementation and Maintenance
Change Management
Change management processes are frequently hindered by numerous obstacles that might lead to system failure. There are various potential causes for system implementation failure. First is the absence of well-defined goals and targets for the system's implementation (Alami, 2016). For example, this may be the result of an organization setting goals that are impossible to measure, cannot be identified, or are very general in nature. Inadequate planning can also lead to system breakdowns. Poor planning before beginning a project can lead to an inappropriate allocation of resources, which can then result in the loss of jobs if personnel are unable to complete the task as promised. Another cause of unsuccessful implementation is insufficient preparation of key employees for their roles in the rollout. Training in this area should follow the best practices. In some instances, management may select the incorrect system or vendor (Alami, 2016). In this case, the system in consideration may be excessively costly, or the supplier may lack the ability to train employees, which might produce an implementation failure. As a result, establishments are challenged with making sound decisions about the selection of a system and its execution.
There are many different models for the implementation of change that can serve as guides for businesses that want to successfully nurture change. The “ADKAR, Kotter's Eight-Step Model, and Lewin's Change Management Model are three of the change management models that are used frequently” (Cameron & Green, 2019). Unfreezing, transitioning, and refreezing are the three steps of making system changes, as outlined by Lewin's Change Management Model. Employees' natural aversion to change is addressed in the unfreeze phase. Specifically, the model stipulates those businesses must be ready to address change-related pushback and other concerns that may arise. After the change has been started, the transition period is where proper reassurance and leadership are essential to its successful execution. After the system has been effectively applied, the organization "refreezes," or resumes normal operations in accordance with the new policies. Conversely, the ADKAR framework is focused on outcomes. Every member of a company can share in the benefits of the system's deployment under this model. The primary function of this instrument is to assist management in locating problematic areas in the change management procedure. Lastly, there is the eight-stage Kotter model, which highlights key ideas related to change implementation at each stage (Cameron & Green, 2019). Kotter's eight-step approach will be used in this project.
The new system will be implemented based on this model. Following.

Abstract
The utilization of the COSO framework in an internal audit of firms is imperative in the identification of accomplished objectives. Additionally, the framework provides
analyses of risks in the external and internal environment, which can impact business operations. Risks identification has an impact on the financial performance of
the business. Control activities ensure procedures and policies are followed, whereas a control environment enables integrity and ethics in the managerial activities of
the employees. This ensures operations, procedures, and organizational activities are done as per the set standards for compliance and accountability. Information
and communication effectiveness ensure message conveyance and feedback. Monitoring and review activities provide feedback for improvement activities in the

Motivation is defined as a set of motives or conditions that drive the behavior of individuals, organizational units, or projects. The purpose of motivation concepts is to help them focus on the primary purpose of the process and the related motives that underlie it. Once they understand motivation concepts, they can use them to motivate people and accomplish tasks. Motivation concepts help people understand why they do what they do and help them identify the steps that motivate motivation. The next step understands the steps needed to move from one problem domain to another. The theories that have been developed are generally confusing, contradictory, and contradictory to the originated objectives. The more theory that is used, the more contradictory it is to the objectives it supposedly was intended to achieve. However, it is essential to realize that more theories and theories will lead to a more consistent method of achieving objectives(Nasution, 2021).
Most organizations today know the objectives and are using organizational, motivational methods to achieve them. Organization-level factors such as human resources, compensation, and support systems influence whether an organization achieves its goals. These factors influence many factors, including the organization's performance as measured by objectives. Employee job engagement can affect managerial relationships and organizational behaviors, and the firm's overall success. It can improve compliance, employee satisfaction, better financial performance, increased employee motivation, and improved corporate image. The degree to which an organization considers its corporate environment a living environment is called corporate culture. The potential for employee empowerment and communication increases when there is corporate culture. The driving forces behind the decision-making process are the drive for performance, and both factors drive performance. The more drive for performance, the more drive for performance needs to be met. One of the significant factors that drive performance is the drive for return on investment. The second major factor that drives performance is the drive for achievement(Robbins & Judge, 2018).
Motivation plays a significant role in organizational functioning and decision-making. A good motivator's personality is a significant factor influencing their decision-making abilities. JCM utilizes opportunities to take risks in order to learn. It is essential because there is a risk associated with going beyond the requirements set for them in the job they are doing. Some employees find that adding pressure to achieve a JCM Goal of getting more done results in increased pressure to get things done and less commitment to the organization. To achieve this goal, employees must take on more responsibility and n ...

Common Objectives Performance Management System for Not-for-profit and Public...Browne & Mohan
Designing Performance management system for government, public sector and not-for-profit organization is a daunting task. Many of these organizations pursue long-term programs and projects. Alignment of various groups, departments and individuals within each department is the need of the hour. However, many of these organizations suffer from functional silos and focus on financial measures only. Managing for results by directing right staff behaviour and initiative taking is not facilitated. In this paper Browne & Mohan consultants present a common objective approach that could be used to fix accountability, ownership and outcome based behaviour in public sector and non-profit organizations.

In our society as we deal on a daily basis with threats and opportunities we often don’t consider the events that got us to where we are today. We just try to work ahead and make something that is new or better than what we perceive we have now. In doing so we may be repeating mistakes from the past and we may be overlooking some success that has already occurred. Itis important to know the history of the type of venture that we are engaged in so that we can use our time and resources efficiently. This can certainly be said of police/citizen relations.
For this week’s assignment consider how American policing has evolved from its earliest beginnings until now. Analyze the memorable events and remarkable people who influenced the development of our system and describe why changes were made and how effective they have been. Critically examine the early founding principles of policing, such as those suggested by Sir Robert Peel and apply those principles to what is actually happening today.

Feminism
We will be working on strengthening our ability to properly cite our philosophers with this discussion post looking again specifically at author-date in-text citations. We will not be providing bibliographic entries for this post.
I have provided a copy of the notes from our earlier discussion below for reference.
For in-text citations we will use this recipe:
"These are some example words as might be quoted by a student of philosophy" (Author's Last Name Most Recent Copyright Date of the actual Text you are referencing, page number again from the actual text you are referencing). i.e. "But enough. It is now time to leave---for me to die, and for you to live--though which of us has the better destiny is unclear to everyone, save only to God" (Plato 2011, 50). This is a reference to our class's textbook so notice it is that copyright date and that page. Think of these citations as breadcrumbs that can lead your reader to the exact quote in the exact book so they can read more if they so choose.
Assignment:
This assignment is going to be a bit different than what we have done in the past as it will involve trying to put yourself into the headspace or mindset of another classmate.
Two Texts:
We have two (2) texts for this module on feminist theory and epistemologies. We have the French existential feminist philosopher Simone De Beauvoir whose introduction to the
The Second Sex
asks us to take a critical look at what society claims, demands, and promulgates that a woman is. We are introduced to a concept of gender as possibly being different than sex. We are provided with an idea that biology might be different than the socialization or social construction involved in performing a gender or being gendered. Her thoughts center around notions of freedom and the opposite, what is named by her (and also written about by Jean Paul Sartre) as acting in "bad faith". We often avoid our freedom by giving our choices to others. We treat ourselves (like we might poorly treat others) as objects rather than being authentic and participating in our own expansive transformative growth. Beauvoir provocatively then suggests that one is not born a woman but rather becomes one.
Maria Lugones and Elizabeth Spelman provide an overview and critique of feminist theories and the practices born of them. They expose the difficulties of theorizing for a broad array of women as though there might be some one-size-fits-all way of talking about the lives of women. They connect this historical difficulty in a delightful way to their own working relationship as being a Latina and a white/Anglo woman. Through their discussion we are given a retelling of the ongoing disappointment, not only of women often not being allowed a place to speak from, b.

You have used the Toulmin model in Exercises B through F to read and analyze other people’s argument. Now use it to identify the main parts of an argument you will write. You may use the model to help you plan any argument paper. Use the Toulmin model as a prewriting exercise to help you develop ideas for a position paper.

Toulmin Analysis of the “Road Trip” Cartoon
Identifies claim and support.
The reader has to infer the claim of this cartoon since it is not directly stated. The claim is that screens have replaced face-to-face conversation as the primary way people now interact with each other. The support is provided by the driver of the car, who notes how much lonelier car trips have become, and the other passengers, all of whom are focused on their smartphones and tablets.
Analyzes warrant.
The implied warrant is that screen-based technology makes us more isolated and disconnected from each other.
Identifies backing.
The backing is also implied and reinforced by the picture. It suggests that road trips are valuable opportunities for connection and conversation that many families are giving up. It also reinforces the common belief that interacting with screens is more appealing than interacting directly with people face-to-face.
Infers rebuttal.
No direct rebuttal or qualifier appears in this cartoon. I think, however, that this cartoon could be considered as a rebuttal to those who think that screen-based communication is always superior to face-to-face communication. As a rebuttal, this cartoon highlights the negative consequences of embracing screen-based communication.
3. Write the warrants. Decide whether to spell out the warrants in your paper or to leave them implicit so that the reading audience will have to infer them.
4. Decide on the backing. Assume that your classmates are your audience. They may be reading drafts of your paper. In your judgment, will some of them require backing for any of your warrants because they will not agree with them otherwise? If so, how can you back these warrants? Write out your ideas.
5. Plan rebuttal. Think about the positions others may hold on this issue. You identified some of these positions in your exploratory paper. Write out your strategies for weakening these arguments.
6. Decide whether to qualify the claim to make it more convincing to more people. Write one or more qualifiers that might work.

(Sample)
Safety and Health Training Plan
1.0 Introduction
Training is one of the most important components within our company’s safety management system. It gives
employees an opportunity to learn their jobs properly, bring new ideas into the workplace, reinforce existing ideas
and practices, and it helps to put our Safety and Health Program into action.
Everyone in our company will benefit from safety and health training through fewer workplace injuries and illnesses,
reduced stress, and higher morale. Productivity, profits, and competitiveness will increase as production costs per
unit, turnover, and workers compensation rates lower.
2.0 Management commitment.
We (or company name) will provide the necessary funds and scheduling time to ensure effective safety and health
training is provided. This commitment will include paid work time for training and training in the language that the
worker understands. Both management and employees will be involved in developing the program.
To most effectively carry out their safety responsibilities, all employees must understand (1) their role in the program,
(2) the hazards and potential hazards that need to be prevented or controlled, and (3) the ways to protect themselves
and others. We will achieve these goals by:
• educating everyone on the natural and system consequences of their actions;
• educating all managers, supervisors and employees on their safety management system responsibilities;
• educating all employees about the specific hazards and control measures in their workplace;
• training all employees on hazard identification, analysis, reporting and control procedures; and
• training all employees on safe work procedures and practices.
Our training program will focus on health and safety concerns that determine the best way to deal with a particular
hazard. When a hazard is identified, we will first try to remove it entirely. If that is not feasible, we will then train
workers to protect themselves, if necessary, against the remaining hazard. Once we have decided that a safety or
health problem can best be addressed by training (or by another method combined with training), we will follow up by
developing specific training goals based on those particular needs.
Employees. At a minimum, employees must know the general safety and health rules of the worksite, specific site
hazards and the safe work practices needed to help control exposure, and the individual's role in all types of
emergency situations. We will ensure all employees understand the hazards to which they may be exposed and how to
prevent harm to themselves and others from exposure to these hazards.
We will commit available resources to ensure employees receive safety and health training during the circumstances
below.
• Whenever a person is hired --general safety orientation including an overview of company safety rules, and

The monster called Artificial Intelligence
Thesis: Major laboratories have been built all over the world to prototype and generate intelligent machines through deep learning. In this paper, I will argue that Artificial Intelligence is a monster that the humans are feeding and it will one day turn and overthrow man, leaving the world in the hands of machines.

C. History of artificial intelligence.
D. Major scientists who developed AI.
E. Trends in AI
II. Machine learning
A. Supervised learning

B. In the business field
C. Industrialization
D. Efficiency
E. Accuracy
IV. Limitations of AI
A. Cost implication
B. Threats prevention
C. Loss of metal capability
D. Social factors
E. Ethical factors
F. Men becoming slaves
G. Emotions not guaranteed
H. Rigidity in thinking and execution of instructions
V. Criticism
The divine instruction was for man to steward and subdue the world, such innovations makes the human being achieve the divine instruction. This criticism is worth because it discusses part of the work in AI as divine instruction.
There is power and happiness if a creator creates something more powerful than itself. It is the happiness of a teacher to see their students do well and even pursue a course far much better. With such social theories supporting the work of artificial intelligence, it is making sense that the same AI should not be demonized but rather be seen as a human achievement.
VI. Conclusion
All the sections and subsections are discussed in a brief, precise and clear way ranging from the definitions, the implications and how negative artificial intelligence should be depicted in this section.

How the Media Distort Reality
TV and movie apologists are forever telling us that we have no business criticizing them because they are only holding a mirror up to reality. Many people buy that explanation, but they shouldn’t.
It would be more accurate to say the media hold a magnifying glass to carefully selected realities—namely, the most outrageous and sensational events of the day, such as the tragic deaths of John F. Kennedy Jr. and Princess Diana, or the trials of celebrities such as O.J. Simpson, Kobe Bryant, and Michael Jackson.
Consider how this happens. The first platoon of media people report the latest sensational story as it unfolds, squeezing each new development for all the airtime or newsprint it will yield. Meanwhile, agents and attorneys are negotiating the sale of movie and TV rights to the story. The sleazier the story, the greater
the payoff
. After the movie is produced, every situation comedy, detective show, and western drama builds an episode around the successful theme.
In this way a single despicable, disgusting act—real or imagined—can generate months of sensational media fare.
In short, the media exploit our social problems for ratings, feed us a steady
diet
of debasing material,
celebrate
irresponsible behavior, and then have the audacity to blame parents and teachers for the social problems that result.

Current Events Journal Assignment for Units 3-4
In Unit 3, we will be focusing on change and reform brought about as a result of the rapid social and economic changes of industrialization and urbanization. While the U.S. looked great from an outside perspective, with its rich flaunting their wealth and industry booming, it was riddled with exploitation of the people and political corruption, thus earning the name the Gilded Age. This brought in a sense of moral obligation and led to a reform movement that swept across the nation, with organization developing locally and nationally. This period of reform is known as the Progressive Era.
It was a time to expose the underlining errors of the U.S. society and to make changes for the good of the people. The Progressive Era would address a variety of issues, including factory and living conditions, agriculture reform, child labor, women’s rights, political reform, conservation, and other social concerns. While not perfect in its initial steps of change, this period will pave the way for continued social justice in our nation’s history.
Objectives:
Discuss the impact of political corruption on the U.S. government and evaluate the effectiveness of political reform.
Identify the leading reformers of the Progressive Era and evaluate the effectiveness of the reform movements.
Describe the problems facing farmers in the late 19th century and evaluate the effectiveness of the reform movement by the Populists and other farmers’ organizations and alliances.
Compare the Progressivism domestic and foreign policies of Theodore Roosevelt, Woodrow Wilson, and William Howard Taft.
Unit 4 Imperialism and WWI
In Unit 4, we will focus on the role of the United States in World affairs. In the late 19th century, the United States not only sought to redefine itself as American, but also to establish its place in the global political arena. Foreign policies paralleled those of many European nations, with a focus on imperialism and preserving foreign interests and markets, specifically in the Western hemisphere. It will be the United States positioning in the Spanish-American war that marks the beginning of its imperial power, with future expansions and political involvement in Latin America and the Pacific Ocean.
At the turn of the century, the United States will feel the long-term effect of its imperialistic decisions. Being recognized as a World leader, involvement in international affairs now spanned beyond the Western Hemispher.

Embracing GenAI - A Strategic ImperativePeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202

The Roman Empire A Historical Colossus.pdfkaushalkr1407
The Roman Empire, a vast and enduring power, stands as one of history's most remarkable civilizations, leaving an indelible imprint on the world. It emerged from the Roman Republic, transitioning into an imperial powerhouse under the leadership of Augustus Caesar in 27 BCE. This transformation marked the beginning of an era defined by unprecedented territorial expansion, architectural marvels, and profound cultural influence.
The empire's roots lie in the city of Rome, founded, according to legend, by Romulus in 753 BCE. Over centuries, Rome evolved from a small settlement to a formidable republic, characterized by a complex political system with elected officials and checks on power. However, internal strife, class conflicts, and military ambitions paved the way for the end of the Republic. Julius Caesar’s dictatorship and subsequent assassination in 44 BCE created a power vacuum, leading to a civil war. Octavian, later Augustus, emerged victorious, heralding the Roman Empire’s birth.
Under Augustus, the empire experienced the Pax Romana, a 200-year period of relative peace and stability. Augustus reformed the military, established efficient administrative systems, and initiated grand construction projects. The empire's borders expanded, encompassing territories from Britain to Egypt and from Spain to the Euphrates. Roman legions, renowned for their discipline and engineering prowess, secured and maintained these vast territories, building roads, fortifications, and cities that facilitated control and integration.
The Roman Empire’s society was hierarchical, with a rigid class system. At the top were the patricians, wealthy elites who held significant political power. Below them were the plebeians, free citizens with limited political influence, and the vast numbers of slaves who formed the backbone of the economy. The family unit was central, governed by the paterfamilias, the male head who held absolute authority.
Culturally, the Romans were eclectic, absorbing and adapting elements from the civilizations they encountered, particularly the Greeks. Roman art, literature, and philosophy reflected this synthesis, creating a rich cultural tapestry. Latin, the Roman language, became the lingua franca of the Western world, influencing numerous modern languages.
Roman architecture and engineering achievements were monumental. They perfected the arch, vault, and dome, constructing enduring structures like the Colosseum, Pantheon, and aqueducts. These engineering marvels not only showcased Roman ingenuity but also served practical purposes, from public entertainment to water supply.
Uma devi discuss the purpose of the capability maturity model.c
1. Uma Devi
Discuss the purpose of the Capability Maturity Model.
Capability Maturity Model (CMM) is a process or a set method
that is generated to help in refining the development process of
an organization’s software. A US-sponsored research center
refereed as the Software Engineering Institute is the developer
of the CMM to help in solving engineering issues in software
developments in organizations (Le, & Hoang, 2017). Software
development is a costly process, and more so may have
significant impacts on the organizations once implemented;
thus, its capability needs to accessed and guaranteed in due
course (Titov et al, 2016). CMM gives and applicable
standardization framework that the organization can follow
while developing the software to enhance its effectiveness.
CMM provides a five steps evolutionary process that can
enhance the maturity of the software. The five steps maturity
levels are defined as follows;
Level one: Initial- The software process at this level is
inconsistent and sometimes chaotic. Most processes are in
constant change with those that are static being undocumented.
Most of the operations at this level are reactive. The
organization’s success at this level is usually dependent on an
individual’s talent, heroics, and effort, rather than the other (Le
& Hoang, 2017).
Level two: Repeatable- Some processes at this level are
repeatable with ideally consistent results. However, the majority
of the defined systems are still not found. The organization’s
software development has consistent management processes
used to track functionality, cost, and schedule. The key
characteristic in this level is program management. The program
manager is considered responsible for writing the code. The
most advanced program managers are also program specialists.
Program specialist is considered as the manager responsible for
programming software on certain systems for example web
2. server, database, or file processing engine (Le & Hoang, 2017).
Level three: Defined- Most of the processes at this level are
static and documented, such as engineering activities and
management. Organization projects at this level utilize an
approved tailored form of software process (Le & Hoang, 2017).
Level four: Managed- Most processes at this level are adjusted
and controlled to improve quality. There are set organizational
quantitative quality goals for software maintenance and process.
The performance processes are quantitatively predictable, and
they are controlled by statistical and quantitative techniques
(Doss et al. 2017).
Level five: Optimized- At this level, the focus is on continual
improvement of existing performance processes. The continual
improvement is incremental, as well as innovative technological
improvements. Any changes made at this level are to enhance
the performance process in addition to maintaining statistical
stability (Doss et al. 2017).

Corporate Governance
Corporate governance is defined as the process through which
organizations are controlled and directed. It is the system of
processes, rules, and practices that helps in balancing the
interest of shareholders, suppliers, stakeholders, community and
government. It also includes employees, customers, suppliers,
and creditors. Corporate governance framework depends on the
legal, regulatory, institutional and ethical environment of the
community (James, 2020). Corporate governance is the control
3. of the management in the best interests of organizations which
includes accountability to shareholders. Corporate governance
is important for the organization as it shows the shareholders
the organization’s direction and business integrity. Corporate
governance helps the organization to build trust with the
shareholders. It also helps in promoting the financial feasibility
by creating a long-term investment (James, 2020). Corporate
governance treats all shareholders equally and also make sure
that shareholders are aware of their rights and how to use them.
In corporate governance organizations define the code of
conduct for all the board members and also appointing new
individuals after meeting certain criteria. All corporate
governance policies and procedures are disclosed to the
stakeholders. In corporate governance all the board of directors
maintain a commitment to ensure accountability, fairness,
transparency and diversity. Transparency plays a major role in
corporate governance. Shareholders reach out to the individuals
in the organization who don’t have interest in the organization
but benefits from its goods or services. Transparency lets
everyone either outside or inside the organization can verify the
company’s action. Which eventually helps more individuals to
become the shareholders. The other important aspect of
corporate governance is security. The clients need to be
confident that their information is being kept securely and not
accessed by unauthorized users. Corporate governance failures
have resulted in problems faced by the organizations. Some of
the corporate governance failures are ineffective governance
mechanism, non-independent board and audit committee
members, management who undermines the role of various
governance structures, inadequately qualified members and
ignorance by regulators, auditors and analysts. Non-compliance
in corporate governance leads to a lack of risk management
within a corporation. A large amount of risk laden investments
not only hurts the company but also make it not able to repay its
creditors. An organization which does not adhere to its
corporate governance strategy runs the risk of weakening the
4. confidence of its shareholders.
