Due to changes in the organization environment over a decade and community needs, the CMMI Institute launched a complex project to restructure the CMMI model. The main goal was to help improve business performance of the companies using it and to adapt the software process improvement of the companies to the changing business needs. CMMI V2.0 is an integrated product suite consisting of 5 components that, when used together, provide a clear and proven path to achieving a company's business objectives. The 5 components are: model, training and certification, adoption guidance, appraisal method, systems, and tools

2. Lessen the resource intensity of appraisals
3. More focus on keeping the model updated with recent market trends
