Comparison of vPMM and BPMM

A business process maturity model provides standards and measures to organizations in assessing, defining and improving business processes, thereby guiding them to achieving business goals and values. We developed a business process maturity model called Value-based Process Maturity Model (vPMM) to tackle those goals. The vPMM is a maturity model that can indicate the capability of controlling the business values of an organization and provide guidance on how to incorporate its business value achievement in its business process. This paper describes the comparison results of the two business process maturity models; the vPMM that we developed and the Business Process Maturity Model (BPMM), which is in the process of becoming an OMG standard. For this, we defined four comparison aspects - inputs, structural components,normative information, and informative information - and performed comparison of the two maturity models.
