Explanation

The Capability Maturity Model (CMM) has five levels: (1) Initial - chaotic, ad hoc; (2) Repeatable - basic project management; (3) Defined - standardized processes; (4) Managed - quantitatively measured; (5) Optimizing - focused on continuous process improvement through incremental and innovative improvements. The Optimizing level (Level 5) is explicitly defined as the stage where an organization uses quantitative feedback to continuously improve its processes and prevent defects. The question describes this perfectly.
