Information technology - Process assessment - Requirements for process reference, process assessment and maturity models

ISO/IEC 33004:2015 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*a) the relationship between the classes of process model associated with the performance of process assessment,*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,*c) the integration of process reference models and process measurement frameworks to establish process assessment models,*d) the use of common sets of assessment indicators of process performance and process quality in process assessment models, and*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.
