Frequently Asked Questions
A structured framework with five maturity levels for measuring how well-defined, managed, and optimized a process area is. Level 1 means the process is ad hoc or inconsistent. Level 5 means it’s continuously improving, data-driven, and considered best-in-class. Each level includes specific evidence criteria so your scoring is objective, not subjective.
Your cross-functional quality team. The best results come from a group that includes VP of Quality, Regulatory Affairs, Engineering leads, and any other stakeholders who own or influence the process area being assessed. The Assessment Instructions deliverable walks you through exactly who to invite and how to facilitate the session.
Most teams complete an assessment in 2–4 focused sessions, typically half-day blocks. The first session covers orientation and calibration. Subsequent sessions work through dimensions and scoring. You can move faster or slower depending on your team’s familiarity with the process area.
8 integrated deliverables: Assessment Framework, Scoring Rubric, Heatmap Template, RACI Matrix, Delta Map, Regression Diagnostic, Assessment Instructions, and Executive Readout Template. Everything your team needs to run the assessment, visualize results, assign ownership, track change over time, and present findings to leadership.
Yes, unlimited times. The framework is yours to reuse. Most organizations reassess annually or after major process changes to track maturity progression and catch regression early. The Delta Map deliverable is specifically designed to show the change between assessment cycles.
Process Area CMMs assess specific QMS functions — CAPA, Design Controls, Risk Management, Supplier Quality, and more. Each one focuses on a single process area with dimensions tailored to that domain. The AI CMM Suite evaluates AI/ML integration maturity across 5 dimensions: governance, data management, validation, workforce readiness, and post-market monitoring. Different scope, same rigor.

MedTechCMM was built by a practitioner who developed and got a Capability Maturity Model board-approved inside a regulated medical device company. This isn’t theory from an outside consultant — it’s methodology that was tested, deployed, and defended in a real regulatory environment. MedTechCMM is part of Coherence Frameworks.
