People Capability Maturity Model

By following the maturity framework, an organization can avoid introducing workforce practices that its employees are unprepared to implement effectively.

The People CMM document describes the practices that constitute each of its maturity levels and provides information on how to apply them to guide organizational improvements.

It also describes how the People CMM can be applied as a standard for assessing workforce practices and as a guide for planning and implementing improvement activities.

The primary motivation for updating the People CMM was the error in Version 1 of placing team-building activities at Maturity Level 4.

The authors made this placement based on substantial Feedback that it should not be placed at Maturity Level 3, as it had been in early review releases.
