PRF_Ratings
The purpose of providing a rating is to provide a view of different aspects/attributes of a Process Reference Framework. Please note the all attributes are not required for every framework and organisation. For example, if your organisation is not interested in formal assessment, you can ignore the Assessment support rating. Similarly if your organisation has a specific need and open for new ideas, the “longevity” parameter can be ignored.
The following table provides a guidance on rating scale.
