An argument for an altered approach to the traditional capability maturity model (CMM), called the CMM-Taiji, is presented in this article. This approach uses the ancient Taiji philosophy, which is based on two opposing poles and the transition between them. From the perspective of Taiji, everything is temporal and changeable, and there is no absolute best solution except evolution. The author argues that, in software process improvement, there are two opposing poles: those of human actions and automation. The characteristics of human actions in software development processes include being unstable, error prone, and disorderly, while the characteristics of automation are orderly and repeatable. The author claims that using the CMM-Taiji allows for flexibility to support human innovation. As a result, the CMM-Taiji will add the appropriate level of flexibility to the traditional CMM so it can be easily adopted by smaller-sized organizations or by projects with special needs. Zhiying fails to describe the CMM-Taiji in detail, and none of the references cited describe it either. A more detailed description of the CMM-Taiji would make the article much stronger. However, the author compares the CMM and CMM-Taiji in a table, and, given the comparison, it is obvious that the CMM-Taiji is a better representation of the real world.
