Service Team Maturity Model
Characteristics of the business process at each maturation
level include:
1. Initial
 Initial learning phase for the team is determined.
 Formal documented processes may not exist.
2. Repeatable
 Informal, ad-hoc paths of communication are established.
 A certain level of repeatability is attained.
3. Defined
 Processes are well defined, documented, and standardized.
 Repeatability and consistency is more commonplace.
4. Predictable
 Integrated service management is present (e.g. quality controls,
audit controls, preventive measures).
 Focus is on measuring and communicating processes at the
business level.
5. OPTIMIZING (targeted goal for a service department)
 Departmental efficiencies are gained through refined
processes.
 Errors are almost non-existent.
