What is the name of Maturity Level 2 in this model?

• A. Incomplete
• B. Initial
• C. Managed
• D. Defined

Answer: (C)

Maturity Level 2 is named Managed because this level establishes disciplined, repeatable processes. At this stage, work is planned and executed according to policy, with documented project plans, requirements management, configuration management, and basic project monitoring and control. There’s also measurement and analysis in place to track performance and manage deviations, so projects can be repeated with more predictable results rather than relying on ad hoc practices.

In short, Level 2 moves from chaos to a managed, repeatable approach across projects, which is why the correct name is Managed. The other terms align with different levels or aren’t official level names.
