Focus Area Maturity Levels

00:00

let's move on to focus area maturity levels.

00:04

In this video, we're going to talk about the definition of maturity levels, how to measure them and the different levels.

00:12

Maturity levels in the co bit framework can help you to measure the maturity level of a focus area in order to achieve a particular capability. Level

00:22

capability levels are more granular, while maturity levels are focused as a performance measure at the focus area level.

00:30

Thus, if your performance management requires a higher level to express performance without the granularity applicable to individual process capability ratings, you will utilize a maturity level model.

00:44

Remember, maturity levels are a way to measure the performance of focus areas.

00:49

An example would be the collection of governance and management objectives and underlying components. Instead of one particular governance objective like managing risk,

01:00

a certain level of maturity is achieved. If all the process is contained in the focus area, achieve a particular capability level.

01:08

The capability level required will vary from organization to organization, so you have to define what capability level is required in a particular focus area. In order to measure the overall maturity level.

01:22

Do you see the difference between a capability level and a maturity level now.

01:30

So let's go through each maturity. Level

01:33

zero is incomplete, meaning it may or may not work, and it may or may not be completed. And it may or may not work towards achieving the purpose of a governance and management objective. In a focus area,

01:46

the maturity level of one is initial meaning. The work is completed, but the full goal and intent of the focus area is not yet achieved.

01:55

A maturity level of two is managed, meaning planning and performance management take place, but not in a standardized way.

02:04

A maturity level of three is defined, meaning enterprise wide standards provide guidance across the enterprise.

02:10

A maturity level of four is quantitative, meaning the enterprises data driven with a quantitative performance improvement.

02:17

A maturity level of five is optimizing, meaning the enterprise is focused on continuous improvement.
