The INCOSE Systems Engineering Capability Assessment Model (SECAM) was developed by the Capability Assessment Working Group (CAWG) to assess systems engineering capability. Eleven systems engineering process assessments (SEPAs) have been conducted using the SECAM and the proto‐models from which it was developed. Three more SEPAs are planned for the near future. This paper characterizes and contrasts the assessment techniques and metrics from each SEPA. Insights from these SEPAs are also summarized to assist potential users of the INCOSE SECAM understand how to prepare for the assessment process.
