Example scenarios

Maturity Model Structure contains

Dimensions (Attributes vs levels of maturity)

Set of activities to reach a level of maturity

o    Level 5 – Improving

§  Level name needs to be resolved (suggestions – adapting, optimizing)

o    Was there a consideration to go with level 0

§  Yes, but decided on going with level 1

§  Model recognizes it is open-ended on both sides

§  Qs. Having a conversation around EA – level 0?(Ans. Probably fits in level 1)

§  Qs. Practice not formally sponsored – level 0? (Ans. Probably fits in level 1)

o    What processes do institutions have in place to move from “Defined” to “Managed” maturity?

o    Is there an assessment guide?

§  Group working on one.

o    Can there be real life scenarios/examples at each of the levels?

§  Jim started a page to share practices in community.

• https://spaces.at.internet2.edu/display/itana/Itana+Member+Practice+Profiles

§  These scenarios could be a measure of milestones achieved not necessarily a way to assess how well they are done.

§  Add an experience/scenario/article/case study/lessons learnt to a cell in the maturity model

• Build a Practice guide with inputs from all.
