About Cycles Cycles describe the frequency with which activities are performed or work products produced and updated. Cycles define the day-to-day, week-to-week, and month-to-month operations of the software development organization. Cycles are about operational management; the production of working code.MSF for CMMI® Process Improvement seeks to separate out the operational management of the organization from the corporate governance of the organization. The first asks for a focus on the question "Are we good at software engineering?" whilst the second asks for a focus on the question "Are we making best use of our software engineering resources?" Operational management is about capacity, quality, and reliable, low-variation engineering. Governance is about making best use of the shareholder's or tax payer's funds through the optimal utilization of capacity.
