ITSM Maturity Assessment
Why Conduct an ITSM Maturity Assessment?
Evaluating the maturity of your IT Service Management (ITSM) processes is crucial to ensuring they continuously meet the evolving demands of your business environment. An ITSM maturity assessment offers valuable insights into the strengths and weaknesses of your current processes, enabling you to make informed decisions for improvement and alignment with industry best practices.
Capability Maturity Model for ITSM
Pink Elephant’s PinkScan is a powerful ITSM assessment tool that leverages a five-level maturity model, ranging from initial/chaotic to optimising, to evaluate your organization’s ITSM processes. Based on ITIL® best practices, PinkScan is underpinned by the Capability Maturity Model (CMM) developed by the Carnegie Mellon Software Engineering Institute. The CMM model is widely recognised as the industry standard for expressing process maturity, and Pink Elephant was the first organisation to apply CMM specifically to IT Service Management processes.
PinkScan offers a comprehensive analysis across multiple dimensions, including:
- Process Capability
- Technology Alignment
- People and Skills
