Maturity
Measured on a scale from 1 (low) to 5 (high), maturity measures how advanced an activity is, relative to our best-in-class software engineering organizations.
Importance
Measured on a scale from 1 (unimportant) to 5 (critical), based on participants’ input, importance measures how important each activity is for the overall effectiveness of software engineering in terms of meeting its objectives.
Prioritization
The priority index (PI) identifies the activities that should be prioritized to improve maturity. It's calculated as follows: PI = (Importance minus Maturity) x Importance. A higher PI signals a greater priority for improvement.
