French term or phrase: pratiquer
CMMI: Référentiel et un dispositif qui permet de mesurer la capacité d’une organisation à pratiquer, capacité attestée par une certification.

- Niveau 1 initial : processus imprévisibles, faiblement contrôlés et très réactifs
- Niveau 2 géré : processus caractérisés par projet
- Niveau 3 défini : processus caractérisés, au niveau de l’organisation et proactifs
- Niveau 4 géré quantitativement : processus mesurés et contrôlés
- Niveau 5 en optimisation : focalisation sur l’amélioration des processus
L’objectif Renault porte sur le niveau 3 et implique une pratique homogène de la gestion de configuration de logiciel à ce niveau.

implement processes (within the CMMI framework).
Explanation:
A suggestion - but something on these lines.

Seems to me this is a new way of using the verb to mean using standardised (or at least measurable) management practices.

le CMMI est un modèle décrivant quelles sont les pratiques à mettre en oeuvre dans une organisation afin d'améliorer et d'assurer la maîtrise des coûts, des délais et des performances des applications, des équipements et des systèmes développés.

Capability Maturity Model® Integration (CMMI) is a process improvement approach that provides organizations with the essential elements of effective processes.

So maybe should be ' implement a process improvement approach'.

Thanks everyone, this definitely fits in with the language being used. "Operate" had been my first thought, but I was not sure that talking about a company's "capacity to operate" sounded right. Saying that they have a limited capacity to implement processes is perfect management speak (basically a tactful way of saying someone is crap).
