ALDOT Statewide TSMO Strategic Plan ALDOT Statewide TSMO Strategic Plan 20190522 | Page 14

By conducting and using a CMM Assessment, agencies can: develop consensus around needed agency improvements; identify their immediate priorities for improvements; and identify concrete actions to continuously improve capabilities to plan, design, implement TSMO (FHWA, Capability Maturity Frameworks Overview, 2017). ALDOT completed a CMM Assessment at the January 2018 TSMO Roundtable meeting to determine the current capability maturity levels for the six key areas. Capability levels were assessed for each region and at the statewide level. Table 3 summarizes the results of the region, statewide, and averaged CMM Assessment. Lower capability levels in a CMM Assessment should not be interpreted as negative, instead the assessment should be used as a tool to identify where an agency should focus resources based on the agency vision, goals, and objectives. Table 3 illustrates the capability maturity levels for the statewide CMM Assessment highlighted on the AASHTO CMM Assessment matrix. Table 3: January 2018 CMM Self-Assessment 11
