This Enterprise Architecture Maturity Model provides a scale or metric for determining where the organization is in its evolving discipline and what steps are needed to advance to the next level of maturity. The NASCIO Enterprise Architecture Maturity Model guides an organization's architecture and procedural improvements. Predictability, process control, and effectiveness all improve as the architecture matures. The enterprise architecture development is critical because it provides the rules and definitions required for the design-level integration of information and services across agency boundaries.
