title = "Developing a tool for self-assessment of IT process maturity: A design science research initiative",
abstract = "Today's IT organizations must ensure that IT services are aligned to business needs and actively support ongoing business processes. This means that internal IT service management processes are under constant improvement. However, to be able to know if the IT service provision develops in the right direction, there is a need to perform some kind of self-assessment of IT process maturity. In this paper we present an initial review of IT process maturity frameworks with a focus on self-assessment models. The main aim of the paper is to present a design science research (DSR) project with the goal of developing a tool for self-assessment of IT-maturity. The context of the project is a large bank and the developed tool should become a permanent part of the toolkit used by the bank, to continuously describe a baseline of current state - {"}where are we today{"}. Such baseline will assist the IT organization in identifying the gap to a wanted future state, and will thereby become the basis for any improvement plans. This paper presents the first steps in this DSR project and highlights the need and benefits of conducting the project as a DSR project.",
