Process not usually documented, little or no guidance or
supporting documentation
There may be areas starting to use standard
approaches but no consistency across organisation
Processes are documented,
standardised and integrated to some
extent into business processes
Defined processes that are
quantitatively managed i.e.
controlled using metrics
Process continuously optimised for changing
