Capability maturity for EIT refers to its ability to reliably perform. Maturity is a measured by an organization’s readiness and capability expressed through its people, processes, data and technologies and the consistent measurement practices that are in place. A typical description of organizational maturity was developed by Stanford’s SLAC National Accelerator Laboratory:

  Level 1
Performed
Level 2
Managed
Level 3
Established
Level 4
Predictable
Level 5
Optimizing
