Maturity models are used to find the current level of maturity, and also to define the target level for the organisation. They are management tools to identify where work is needed, and to help decide on priorities. The target level of maturity might be "Mature implementation", but for some capabilities or standards, the organisation might decide that a lower level of maturity is sufficient. In the example below, the target maturity level is "Corporate implementation". The organisation has decided that it has already reached this level for the "Methods" dimension, but not for the other dimensions. It has most work to do in the "Technology" and "Processes" dimensions, as the organisation is only at the "Initial awareness" level for these dimensions. As a result of this assessment, the "Technology" and "Processes" dimensions are likely to be priority areas for future work. For detailed some suggestions on how to carry out a maturity assessment, please see this page.
What is a roadmap?
A maturity model helps an organisation to identify its current and target levels of maturity for the implementation of a capability or standard. A "roadmap" is a plan to help the organisation reach the target maturity level as quickly and efficiently as possible. Where possible, this should take into account the experiences of other statistical organisations, e.g. from case studies and lessons learned.
