What do we call a process that is developed and made habitual in its use?

A process that is developed and made habitual in its use is referred to as a Managed Process. This concept within CMMI involves establishing a consistent, repeatable, and predictable set of procedures that are not only followed but also monitored and controlled to ensure efficiency and effectiveness.

In a Managed Process, organizations ensure that the necessary resources are allocated, roles and responsibilities are clear, and continuous improvement practices are in place. This level of process maturity indicates that the organization has the capability to manage its processes systematically to achieve better performance and meet objectives.

By contrast, the other options describe aspects of processes that do not fully encapsulate the idea of habitual and consistent use. A Configured Process suggests that specific settings or parameters have been established but does not imply habitual use. A Performed Process indicates that the process is being executed, while a Structured Process suggests that there is some level of organization but does not necessarily mean it is being managed or followed consistently. Therefore, the term Managed Process best describes a process that is not only developed but ingrained into regular operations.
