Self-assessment · Maturity model v1.0

How is your website actually being run?

Eighteen questions across nine dimensions, about five minutes. You get a level for each dimension and the specific next move for your three weakest. Nothing is sent anywhere and no email is required.

Before you start

  • Answer for how things are today, not how they are meant to be.
  • If you are not sure, that is itself the answer: pick the lower option.
  • Doing it with a colleague from a different team is more useful than doing it alone. The disagreements are the interesting part.

New to the model? Read the five levels first.

The scorecard

Step 1 of 9

Updates and patching

How do new versions of your platform, plugins and dependencies reach production?

When did your site last receive its platform and plugin updates?
An urgent security patch is released for something you run. How long until it is live?

Answer both questions to continue.

Answers run from level 1 (Firefighting) at the top to level 5 (Thriving) at the bottom. Pick the one that is true today, not the one that is true on a good week.
