MIL0: Practices are not performed; The maturity indicator levels apply independently to each domain. As a result, an organization using the model may be operating at different MIL ratings in different domains. MILs are cumulative within each domain.

• MIL0 indicates that a practice is not implemented or has not been considered. • MIL1 represents initial activities that may be performed in an informal or ad hoc manner. • MIL2 activities are designed to be more complete than at MIL1, with more regular and reliable

Practices are performed in a manner that depends largely on the initiative and experience of an individual or team (and team leadership), without much in the way of a prescribed plan, policy, or training.
