Section 02 — Capability Maturity Model

DBJ CMM is TOGAF CMM tailored for a small to medium sized businesses.

DBJ CMM defines five levels of organisational maturity. The DBJ Method uses this scale to measure and grow your Enterprise Architecture practice.

Level	Name	Description	Milestone
1	Initial	Processes are ad hoc and chaotic. Success depends on individual effort. No repeatable practices exist for EA planning or execution.	Starting point
2	Repeatable	Basic project management processes are in place. Similar projects can be executed with similar results, but practices are not formalised across domains.	Pre-training
3	Defined	Processes are documented, standardised, and integrated into a defined EA framework. The whole organisation operates from a shared architecture playbook. Domains are clearly identified and aligned.	Target
4	Managed	Processes are measured and controlled using quantitative data. EA decisions are evidence-based. Quality and performance are predictable.	Phase 2
5	Optimising	Continuous process improvement is embedded. Innovation and automation — including AI — are systematically applied to refine and evolve architecture capabilities.	Destination
