Level-2, 'The Repeatable Level' is defined as follows: At the Repeatable Level, policies for managing a software project and procedures to implement those policies are established. Planning and managing new projects is based on experience with similar projects. An objective in reaching Level-2 is to institutionalize effective management processes for software projects, which allow organizations to repeat successful practices developed in earlier projects, although the specific processes implemented by the projects may differ. An effective process can be characterized as practiced, documented, enforced, trained, measured, and able to improve. Projects in Level-2 organizations have installed basic software management controls. Realistic project commitments are based on the results observed on previous projects and on the requirements of the current project. The software managers for a project track software costs, schedules, and functionality; problems in meeting commitments are identified when they arise. Software requirements and the work products developed to satisfy them are baseline, and their integrity is controlled. Software project standards are defined, and the organization ensures that they are faithfully followed. The software project works with its subcontractors, if any, to establish a strong customer supplier relationship. The software process capability of Level-2 organizations can be summarized as disciplined because planning and tracking of the software project is stable and earlier success can be repeated. The project's process is under the effective control of a project management system, following realistic plans based on the performance of previous projects.
