Name the four categories.

Name the four categories.

• A. Doing, Managing, Enabling, Improving
• B. Doing, Managing, Enabling
• C. Planning, Executing, Monitoring, Controlling
• D. Capabilities, Practices, Processes, Maturity

Answer: (A)

In CMMI-style process improvement, the activities are organized into four broad categories: Doing, Managing, Enabling, and Improving. Doing is the actual work being performed according to defined processes. Managing covers governance, planning, tracking, and controlling that work. Enabling provides the supporting resources—tools, training, templates, and infrastructure—that make the work possible. Improving focuses on analyzing results, identifying gaps, and implementing changes to raise capability. Together, they capture the full lifecycle from execution to governance, support, and continual enhancement. The other options don’t fit as well. One option lists only three areas, missing Improving, which is essential for ongoing capability growth. Another option mirrors generic project-management groupings rather than the four CMMI-oriented categories. The last option combines terms that describe different concepts (capabilities, practices, processes, maturity) rather than the four developmental categories used here.
