ISO ISO/IEC 33004

Abstract

This International Standard sets out the requirements for process reference models, process assessment models, and maturity models. The requirements defined in this International Standard form a structure which specifies <br>a) the relationship between the classes of process model associated with the performance of process assessment, <br>b) the relationship between process reference models and prescriptive/normative models of process performance, as constituted by, for example, the activities and tasks defined in ISO/IEC 12207 and ISO/IEC 15288, <br>c) the integration of process reference models and process measurement frameworks to establish process assessment models, <br>d) the use of common sets of assessment indicators of process performance and process quality in process assessment models, and <br>e) the relationship between maturity models and process assessment models and the extent to which a maturity model can be constructed using elements from different process assessment models.
