You're right! It's very different.
If you recall from v1.3, we had the "Staged Representation" and the "Continuous Representation." In the staged, you were told which process areas had to be successfully appraised in order to reach a certain maturity level (7 in ML2, 11 in ML3, and 2 each in ML4/5). If you chose to go the "continuous" route, you could get a "Capability Level" in any one Process Area, up to Capability Level Three by applying the corresponding Generic Practices and Goals.
CMMI V2.0 semi-conflates these two concepts. There are no Generic Practices anymore, but each Practice Area has a set of "Practice Groups," which are a little like Capability Levels from v1.3, and all Practice Areas, except Configuration Management, have at least three of these (CM has two). Some also have four practice areas, and a couple have five.
In order to achieve a maturity level, you need to successfully satisfy all the practice groups (there are no more goals) in all of the pre-determined Practice Areas to achieve a given level. Here is the list:
The following Practice Areas must be rated at Practice Group 2 (think of a practice group like a capability level):
Managing Performance and Management
Supplier Agreement Management
Process Quality Assurance
Configuration Management
Monitor and Control
Planning
Estimating
Requirements Development and Maintenance
Governance
Implementation Infrastructure
The following Practice Areas must be rated at Practice Group 3, with the EXCEPTION of CM, which only goes to Level 2
Managing Performance and Management
Supplier Agreement Management
Process Quality Assurance
Configuration Management
Monitor and Control
Planning
Estimating
Requirements Development and Maintenance
Governance
Implementation Infrastructure
Causal Analysis and Resolution
Decision Analysis and Resolution
Organizational Training
Risk Management
Process Asset Development
Peer Reviews
Process Management
Verification and Validation
Technical Solution
Product Integration
The following Practice Areas must be rated at Practice Group 4, in addition to everything above
- Managing Performance and Management
- Planning
- Governance
- Causal Analysis and Resolution
- Process Management
The following Practice Areas must be rated at Practice Group 5, in addition to everything above
- Managing Performance and Management
- Causal Analysis and Resolution
So that's it! EZPZ!
