    Skills You Will Master to Run Capability Assessments

    From This Assessor Programme

    This COBIT 5 Assessor programme teaches you to plan, conduct, rate and report a formal process capability assessment end to end. You apply the PAM, the six capability levels, the nine process attributes and the four-point rating scale to realistic IT governance scenarios at application and analysis level.

    The COBIT 5 Process Assessment Model (PAM)

    This programme teaches you to apply the two-dimensional PAM end to end, working across the process dimension of 37 COBIT 5 processes and the capability dimension, using Base Practices, Work Products and Generic Practices as your evidence foundation.

    The Six Capability Levels

    Assess processes against the six capability levels, from Level 0 Incomplete through Performed, Managed, Established and Predictable to Level 5 Optimising, and determine the overall capability of each process from its attribute ratings.

    The Nine Process Attributes

    Work confidently with all nine process attributes, from PA 1.1 Process Performance to PA 5.2 Process Optimisation, understanding what each measures and what evidence demonstrates achievement at every level.

    The Four-Point Rating Scale

    Apply the Not Achieved, Partially Achieved, Largely Achieved and Fully Achieved rating scale consistently, anchoring each rating in evidence and using the threshold rules to derive a defensible capability level.

    Assessment Planning and Execution

    Plan and run a formal assessment, from scoping with the goals cascade and selecting the lead and competency assessors, through interviews, document review, observation and reaching rating consensus.

    Evidence, Rating and Reporting

    Manage a traceable evidence record, document ratings against the PAM, and build a clear assessment report with an executive summary, capability profiles and prioritised improvement recommendations.
