Many Systems Engineering organizations are beginning to examine their engineering processes as a means of improving their competitiveness. There are now process maturity models which serve as process frameworks and provide a yardstick for measuring Systems Engineering process maturity. These models define what activities must be performed and a scale for judging how well they are performed. Appraisal methods are available for evaluating an organization's process maturity. This paper discusses the importance of measuring Systems Engineering process maturity and gives an overview of two Systems Engineering process maturity models.
