See where each capability stands against its target

A heat grid of current against target maturity for every capability, with unassessed capabilities shown as missing, not guessed.

Capability maturity: how many capabilities have a recorded assessment, and the average current and target level.

Who it is for

Made for the people who answer for this.

  • A business architect who has to show where capabilities fall short of their targets.
  • A CTO or portfolio manager choosing where to invest next.

Questions it answers

Ask it the questions you are asked.

Which capabilities are furthest below their target?

Asked by a business architect.

How many capabilities have actually been assessed?

Asked by a portfolio manager.

Who owns this capability, and what is acting on it?

Asked by a CTO.

How does maturity compare across our frameworks?

Asked by an enterprise architect.

How it works

From your data to an answer, in steps.

  1. Step 1

    Record assessments

    Levels are entered by hand, one capability at a time or in a batch, or imported from a CSV.

  2. Step 2

    Read the heatmap

    Current level, target level and the gap, grouped by category.

  3. Step 3

    Spot what is missing

    A capability with no assessment date shows a dash, never Level 1.

  4. Step 4

    Open a capability

    See its maturity, owner and the initiatives acting on it.

What this module does

The heatmap lists your capabilities by category on a five-point scale from Initial to Optimising, showing current level, target level and the gap between them. A capability counts as assessed only once an assessment date is recorded; until then every level shows as a dash rather than as Level 1, and the page states how many capabilities are assessed out of the total. Averages cover assessed capabilities only. Each capability opens a line-of-sight view of its maturity, owner and the initiatives acting on it.

A separate frameworks overview compares maturity across the frameworks your capabilities are classified under. Levels are entered by hand, one capability at a time or in a batch, or imported from a CSV; they are not calculated for you.
