Efficient - process management includes deliberate process optimization/improvement.

Capable - the process is quantitatively managed in accordance with agreed-upon metrics.

Defined - the process is defined/confirmed as a standard business process

Repeatable - the process is at least documented sufficiently such that repeating the same steps may be attempted.

Initial (chaotic, ad hoc, individual heroics) - the starting point for use of a new or undocumented repeat process.
