The Self-assessment Guide is provided as a ‘stand-alone’ guide, which can be used by enterprises to perform

rigorous assessment of the capability of their IT processes. This may be a precursor to undertaking more rigorous evidenced-ba
assessment. The approach is based on the COBIT PAM used in the COBIT 5 Assessment Programme, but does not require evid
requirements in support of the self assessment, nor does it require use of the COBIT PAM; sufficient information from the PAM
full self-assessment template has been provided that simplifies the process without the need to reference the other two guide

Instructions
1. It is recommended that the assessment be undertaken by a small team or reviewed by a team of IT management and/or ass
although independent assessors are not required for this.
1. Use the Process results tab (example in appendix A of the guide) to summarize your results of the assessments
2. If a more rigoruous assessment is required and/or evidentiary requirements to be produced then use the full assessor guide
templates at 3. and 4. of the toolkit
3. You are required to start at level 1 because that is where the specfic questions are asked about the process outomes and pu
be achieved.
4. At Level 1 For each process be assessed ask if the process is achieveing its outcomes, answer yes or no; include any relevant
comments to support your conclusion.
5. For Level 1 you can RATE each of the outcomes but the assessment approach requires an overall assessment rating at the pr
attribute level PA1.1
6. At higher levels you are no longer looking at specific process outcomes but at overall generic goals shown for each of the le
5.
7. To PASS a particular level the process must be rated Largely or Fully, to move onto the next level all attributes must be rated
for example if PA2.1 is Largely and PA2.2 Fully, you are deemed to be at Level 2 but the overall Level 2 rating must be a Fully to
to assess at higher levels.

8. Use this process as a 'pre-cursor' to a more detailed assessment and not as the definitive assessment of your IT processes.
