Capability
Level 3 can only be determined as equivalent to Maturity Level 3 in the staged
representation when all of the goals for all of the process areas at Maturity Levels
2 and 3 in the staged representation have been met. So the target profile 3 would
include satisfying seven process areas at Maturity Level 2 plus eleven process areas
at Maturity Level 3. An organization may decide on its own unique target profile.
For example, a contracting company specializing in providing third-party Independent
Verification and Validation services may select a target profile of Capability
Level 2 for Project Planning and Project Monitoring and Control, and Capability
Level 3 for Verification and Validation.
Target Staging
Target staging is a sequence of target profiles that describe the path of process
improvement the organization will take. Care should be taken to ensure that dependencies
between the generic practices and process areas are implemented. This is
where the organization documents the PAs it will focus on, justifies this approach,
and tracks the PAs back to business objectives.
