was developed in 1995 by Dr. Gerard Macioce to improve an organization's performance monitoring platform. The proof concept was performed in the commercial sector and later in the US federal government.

The processes of the SMART model are structured to be matured to CMM level 3 when initially integrated into the monitoring platform and achieve level 5 with a reasonable short time. The concept is customer focused, measures defects with performance monitoring, and ensures that the tools are used to there fullest potential without having data unnecessary data being transmitted over a network infrastructure.

Variants of the model are used today to support the US Departments of Defense and Homeland Security performance monitoring platforms.
