Details

The supporting objectives and resources have been designed to assist in understanding, initiating, delivering and actioning the results of a maturity assessment for the first-year goals. The resources are deliberately light-touch. The resources include a range of options, considerations, suggestions and simple tools.

You can use these resources to:

  • understand the first-year data maturity goals and commitments for departments and relevant public sector organisations
  • learn about data maturity
  • understand the content and structure of the DMA for Government
  • understand the potential benefits and uses of a completed data maturity assessment
  • understand the main considerations in planning and delivering a data maturity assessment
  • develop a plan and deliver a data maturity assessment
  • record and calculate data maturity results following an assessment

  We’re developing a new version of the Data Maturity Assessment framework. Contact datamaturity@dsit.gov.uk for guidance if you’re using the current version - of if you’d like more information.
