The document summarizes the Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM) which is used to assess an organization's process maturity. It discusses the five levels of the BPMM framework - initial/ad hoc, managed, standardized, predictable, and innovating. Higher maturity levels are associated with improved organizational performance, reduced rework, increased productivity and benefits. The BPMM provides a structured approach for organizations to measure, improve and manage their business processes.

23. What are the top BPMM benefits? The BPMM was designed to compliment the CMMI and PCMM: Both are domain centric, e.g. software and people Neither support for enterprise improvement programs concerned with end to end business processes and workflow The Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM) enables greater fidelity between the actual performance of business processes and their model-based representations Organizations which do not have standards based process maturity have elevated risk in SOA implementations. The immaturity of business processes strictly limits the value and success of component reuse. Reaching a particular level of capability is a proven means of unlocking the value of investments in technology enabled processes. BPMM compliments existing diagnostic tools and improvement frameworks. Improving organizational readiness for technology deployment is the motivation for making the BPMM available as a specification from OMG.
