Getting Started
If you’ve just landed here and aren’t sure where to begin, this page is meant to point you in roughly the right direction. You don’t need to read everything in order. Most people don’t.
Pick the path that matches why you’re here.
Quick Start (Leadership Teams)
If you’re trying to understand what this means for the organization as a whole:
- Read (or at least skim) the 5-Level Maturity Model
- Look at the Assessment Framework to see what gets evaluated
- Run a short self-assessment session — even a rough one is useful
- Agree on where you actually are today (this part can get… lively)
- Identify a few realistic next steps instead of a massive transformation plan
Quick Start (Practitioners)
For engineers, architects, delivery leads, etc.:
- Read the level definitions properly — details matter here
- Check the scoring guide so you know how maturity is judged
- Map your current practices against the seven pillars
- Figure out what’s slowing you down the most
- Suggest specific improvements rather than vague “we should use more AI” ideas
Quick Start (Researchers)
If you’re looking at this from an academic or analytical angle:
- Review the assumptions behind the model
- Compare it with other maturity frameworks
- Share data or case studies if you have them
- Challenge anything that doesn’t seem to hold up
Suggested Workshop Flow
Most organizations end up doing something like this:
- Quick overview so everyone starts from the same page
- Discussion of each pillar (expect disagreements)
- Identification of gaps and weak spots
- Talk about risks of pushing automation too fast
- Draft a rough roadmap
Don’t treat this as a script. Every group does it differently.
Important Note
Higher maturity is not automatically better.
In some contexts — especially regulated or safety-critical ones — moving too fast can backfire. Progress only makes sense if your architecture, governance, and testing capabilities can keep up.
Where to Contribute
If you want to help improve the project:
- Check Issues for concrete tasks
- Use Discussions for ideas or questions
- Read CONTRIBUTING.md before submitting anything
If you’re unsure where to start, opening a discussion is perfectly fine.
