Bonus Myth
Once I reach Level X, I’m done
- There is no “certification”, a rating is a snapshot less likely to be accepted to resemble you over time
- Keep doing the work or regress; industry shows backsliding is common
- The common features make a loop including measures and reviews; implies ongoing improvement of processes based on your business needs
- Good news:
- Life is better (though not perfect)
as maturity increases
- Maintaining is less effort
than achieving the change
