Understanding the Main Phases of Developing a Maturity Assessment Model

TLDR
In this paper, the main phases of generic maturity model development are outlined with the help of examples from two advanced maturity models in the domains of Business Process Management and Knowledge Management, respectively.
Abstract
Practitioners and academics have developed numerous maturity models for many domains in order to measure competency. These initiatives have often been influenced by the Capability Maturity Model. However, an accumulative effort has not been made to generalize the phases of developing a maturity model in any domain. This paper proposes such a methodology and outlines the main phases of generic model development. The proposed methodology is illustrated with the help of examples from two advanced maturity models in the domains of Business Process Management and Knowledge Management.
