Representative POMs are described for Design Conceptualization at each level of maturity.

1Initial

• Practice

  Practices are ad hoc and are on a best endeavour basis.

2Basic

• Practice

  Collate detailed requirements to be used as the basis for designing IT solutions.

  Outcome

  Some formal design methods begin to emerge.

  Metric

  # of design methods used in delivery of IT solution.

3Intermediate

• Practice

  Identify and agree applicable design standards (e.g. safety, design tolerances, etc.) and/or criteria (e.g. modular, portable, scalable, maintainable, etc.).

  Outcome

  The quality of IT solutions designed is improved.

  Metric

  # of design standards agreed.

4Advanced

• Practice

  Select and consistently use effective design methods (e.g. prototypes, structural models, design reuse, design patterns, entity relationship models).

  Outcome

  The quality of designs is increased.

  Metric

  # of effective design methods used.

5Optimized

• Practice

  Introduce new and emerging design standards and techniques for requirements gathering, analysis, design and implementation.

  Outcome

  The design standards ensure a high quality design process is in place for converting requirements into an IT solution that meets the needs of all stakeholders.

  Metric

  # of design standards introduced that incorporate input from external stakeholders.
