Questions
What is a maturity model?
A maturity model describes how a capability develops, from informal and inconsistent to embedded and continuously improving. By comparing what your organisation actually does today against clear descriptions of each stage, you can see where you stand and what "better" looks like. Read our guide to maturity models for more.
How long does it take?
Most assessments have 24–28 questions and take 10–15 minutes. Your progress is saved in the page URL, so you can bookmark it and come back later.
Can I use them with clients?
Yes. The models are MIT-licensed, so you can use, adapt and share them, commercially or not. Attribution is appreciated.
Do you store my answers?
No. Your answers are never sent to a server. They live only in the page URL, which you control. We use Google Analytics for anonymous visit statistics; see our privacy policy.
Are these based on CMMI or NIST?
No. Every model on MaturityModel.io is original work, written in plain language with three field-specific maturity levels. Each model page lists related industry frameworks you may also find useful, but none of their content is reproduced. See our methodology.
Can I run it as a workshop?
Yes. Ask several people to complete the same assessment and share their links, then compare answers in a short session, starting with the questions where views differ most. The guide describes a simple workshop format.
