[Community] Maturity Model Risk Assessment tool

[corbinpa]

Contribution Description

Create a tool that enables organizations to assess platform maturity based on the existing Platform Maturity Model. The tool will help organizations measure their relative risk as it relates to their platform initiative, with the aim to provide repeatable and prescriptive guidance to mature. The tool will be loosely modeled after the AWS Well Architected Framework, a survey based format, allowing for self-guided or consultative engagement.

Thanks so much for opening this @corbinpa! It was great to speak with you and the other collaborators in Paris about the ideas here.

I imagine this type of publication will take on a similar lifecycle to the maturity model itself in that it will start with a skeleton and grow through dedicated working sessions both async and sync calls.

Since we are still early days with all this so some things we still want to determine from the group are:

• Hopes / goals for this type of publication
• Fears / concerns for this type of publication
• Formats / examples of other publications that people see achieve similar outcomes
• Indication of interest to collaborate

Looking forward to working with you on this!

I find this really interesting! I hope I understand this correctly but this reminds me of the FinOps model (that I have mentioned numerous times on the Slack channel because I really like how well-designed their framework is!) that they mention the Capabilities mapped to each of the Maturity stage in which that people can take their Assessment tool to know the Maturity level of their org/team in each according Capability. So does the DORA quickcheck. Let me know if I can be of any help on this one!
