An interesting EA Maturity Model

Just a quick note.  I ran across this interesting post from Leo de Sousa, an Enterprise Architect in the Higher Education setting, who uses a Capability Maturity Model to help him to measure and drive EA maturity.

This is one of the most common ways to use measurement to improve Enterprise Architecture.  As I pointed out in my post on measurement, EA in every organization needs not only to have a balanced scorecard but also to participate in a balanced scorecard in order for the value to be measured and rewarded.  In many ways, a maturity model is a balanced scorecard.  Doing better at "maturity" means that your measurement improves.  Driving to improve that measure motivates change.

I'll blog again on this topic.  I just wanted to share Leo's excellent post.
