Many organizations utilize process maturity models (e.g., CMM, Gartner) to assess their current level of IT process maturity, identify a desired state and build a gap analysis highlighting the areas of people, process and technology to invest in for better alignment with the overall business. Even more detailed models have recently been created to evaluate specific processes, such as IT Asset Management and other key domains. IT organizations must seriously consider all aspects of process maturity.
