    The Assessment Skills You Will Master

    Grounded in the COBIT 5 PAM

    Skills covered in COBIT 5 Assessor training run from assessment planning to evidence-based rating and reporting. By the end of the programme you can plan, conduct, rate and report a formal COBIT 5 process capability assessment using the PAM and the ISO/IEC 15504 method.

    Run a COBIT 5 Process Assessment

    Understand the purpose, scope and context of COBIT 5 process capability assessment, how it fits the governance improvement lifecycle, and why ISO/IEC 15504 alignment gives assessments international credibility and comparability.

    Apply the Process Assessment Model

    Work confidently with the PAM's two dimensions, the 37 COBIT 5 processes, and the Base Practices, Work Products and Generic Practices that provide the evidence for rating each process against its purpose.

    Rate the Six Capability Levels

    Assess processes across the six capability levels, from Incomplete to Optimising, using the nine process attributes and the four-point scale of Not, Partially, Largely and Fully Achieved to derive a defensible capability level.

    Plan and Execute an Assessment

    Scope an assessment, select and calibrate the assessment team, and gather evidence through interviews, document review and observation, then reach rating consensus while managing objectivity and quality throughout.

    Manage Evidence and Traceability

    Record evidence with full traceability to process attributes and practices, categorise direct, indirect and affirmation evidence, and maintain the integrity of the audit trail behind every rating.

    Report and Communicate Findings

    Build a PAM-compliant assessment report with capability profiles and improvement recommendations, present results to stakeholders, and plan post-assessment activities that feed governance improvement.
