What is the maturity level of your publication process?
Subject:What is the maturity level of your publication process? From:"Yigal Rahamim" <yigal -at- tds -dot- co -dot- il> To:"TECHWR-L" <techwr-l -at- lists -dot- raycomm -dot- com> Date:Thu, 20 Dec 2001 16:56:39 +0200
Do you ever find yourself in any of these situations: deadlines are
routinely missed, original schedules become impossible, plans that are
written are ignored, project management is basically unknown, and writers
work deep into the night to meet deadlines.
Well, don?t be upset. Many of these situations result from the maturity
level of your company?s publication process.
By understanding the Information Process Maturity Model (IPMM) developed by
JoAnn Hackos, and your company?s maturity level, you can get insight into
the causes of these problems, and learn what are the steps needed to advance
to a more mature level.
Based on the Information Process Maturity Level model, we created in
collaboration with JoAnn Hackos a quiz that instantly assesses your
company's level of process maturity.
Take a few minutes of your time to fill out the IPMM Quiz, and get an
immediate feedback
and analysis of your company?s maturity level.
To fill out the quiz visit www.tds.co.il/ipmm_quiz_intro.htm
The quiz is anonymous.
Following the quiz you can read an article, contributed by JoAnn Hackos, on
the tools needed
to advance your organization to the next level of process maturity.
