    Skills You Will Build as a COBIT 5 AssessorApplying the PAM in Practice

    This programme builds the assessment planning, rating and reporting capability that the COBIT 5 Assessor exam expects. By the end you can plan, conduct, rate and report a formal process capability assessment using the PAM.

    Navigate the COBIT 5 PAM

    Work confidently with the two dimensions of the Process Assessment Model, the process dimension covering the 37 COBIT 5 processes and the capability dimension that measures how well each is performed.

    Apply the Six Capability Levels

    Assess processes across Level 0 Incomplete through to Level 5 Optimising, applying the threshold rules that determine when a process can be rated at the next capability level.

    Rate the Nine Process Attributes

    Evaluate PA 1.1 through PA 5.2 using evidence, and translate attribute ratings into an overall, defensible capability level for each assessed process.

    Use the Four-Point Rating Scale

    Apply Not Achieved, Partially, Largely and Fully Achieved consistently, managing over-rating and under-rating so ratings stay anchored to collected evidence.

    Plan and Execute an Assessment

    Scope an assessment using the goals cascade, build the assessment team, and collect evidence through interviews, document review and observation with proper traceability.

    Document Evidence and Report

    Maintain an evidence record as an audit trail, build process capability profiles, and write a clear assessment report with prioritised improvement recommendations.
