All CMMI models contain 16 core process areas that make up the CMMI Framework. Then there are some additional processes that serve to make up the constellations.. Constellations are collections of CMMI components used to construct a specific area of interest, such as development, acquisition or services.
CMMI best practices are published in documents called models, each of which addresses a different area of interest. Version 1.3 provides models for three areas of interest: development, acquisition, and services. CMMI for Development (CMMI-DEV), v1.3 was released in November 2010.
