Based on Industry Best Practices and Standards

Assess and Establish a Baseline for Your Organization’s IT Processes
The IT process maturity-capability assessment is a common way for organizations to understand the current maturity of the IT processes.
The assessment will provide an independent view of the maturity of the IT service management practices currently employed across the organization. IT process maturity - capability assessment can help identify those activities that are executed well and the activities that are missing or loosely implemented. The assessment will also determine the strength and weakness of each process and the extent to which the current IT process achieves its purpose.
Once the current maturity and gaps are known, this assessment can provide a baseline for further improvement. The results of the assessment are analyzed and prioritized based on your organizational objectives.
