Redsen maturity models

In an era where all major corporate projects carry an essential IT component, the ITD is expected to streamline and industrialize IT governance processes.

Redsen used reference methodologies combined with experience feedback and designed a toolkit to assess the maturity level of essential practices in terms of:

  • Project management
  • Project portfolio management
  • Enterprise Architecture / IS Urbanization
  • Business Analysis / Project Management Assistance

These models help draft an initial diagnosis. More importantly, they allow to define a progressive maturity improvement plan that will induce collective acceptance and to manage this plan in the light of a regular measure of benefits.

Generic Maturity Model

Redsen maturity models can be adapted to any business through tens of check points, sorted by major themes, to warrant a tangible evaluation of concerned practices.

Those maturity models are core components of the continuous improvement approach designed by Redsen:

Redsen Maturity Models

Measure maturity of Enterprise Architecture practices

Redsen designed an Enterprise Architecture maturity model based on our own experience feedback, as well as major field initiatives such as the Enterprise Architecture Capability Maturity Model (ACMM) developed by the United States Department of Commerce, the National Association of State CIOs (NASCIO) maturity model – both mentioned in TOGAF® – and the BIZBOK® framework maturity model.

We have defined various practical check points to measure maturity. They are divided into three complementary sections:

  • Existence and comprehensiveness of the analysis framework used to evaluate coverage of the governance practices and mechanisms implemented
  • Implementation aims, in order to evaluate which specific situations induce an instantiation of the practices, how much these practices help align IT and business.
  • The quality of architecture, which allows to assess results based on three types of assets: applications, data and technical platform

Measure Project Management practices maturity

The project management practices maturity model designed by Redsen is built on essential frameworks such as Prince2, CMMI or PMI. It is also inspired by best practices resulting from the firm experience.

We measure maturity through various practical check points organized in the following analysis axes:

  • Organization and initialization of project mechanisms
  • Monitored methodology framework
  • Deadline control and planning
  • Budget management
  • Risks and action plan management
  • Quality control
  • Steering process

Measure maturity of Project Portfolio Management practices

Redsen designed a project portfolio management practices maturity model based on best practices defined through experience feedback and major standards such as Prince2, CMMI and PMI.

We measure maturity through various practical check points organized in the following analysis axes:

  • Organization, scaling, role and responsibilities of PMOs and other stakeholders involved in portfolio governance
  • Management of the strategic alignment of the projects
  • Evaluation of porfolio performance
  • Risk and action plan management
  • Management of achievement ability
  • Steering process

Measure Business Analysis practices maturity

Redsen used experience feedback from several project management assistance missions to design a Business Analysis practices maturity model, based on the BABOK® framework and the BIZBOK® guide.

Maturity is measured according to various tangible checkpoints, broken down into the following analysis axes:

  • Organization, scaling, roles and responsibilities of the players involved in project management assistance
  • Management of IS governance
  • Management of opportunity studies
  • Project scoping and requirement management
  • Functional support to project teams
  • Management of testing phases
  • Change management
