Conducting assessments at the System (ART / Program / Team of Teams) and Organization levels presents a different opportunity than conducting Team-level assessments. Who participates in these assessments and the conversations that emerge when discussing current state capability gaps are critical factors. Having the right group of participants will create the most effective conversations and increase shared understanding among the people who are most able to drive improvement actions.
Ensure the coverage of the following perspectives for each level:
