DITA Comes of Age with Maturity Model
The DITA Maturity Model has just been released, and is available as a free download. Jointly authored by Amber Swope (JustSystems) and Michael Priestley (IBM), the DITA Maturity Model provides the industry with a graduated methodology for successfully implementing DITA within an organization.
The publication of this paper dispels the myth that implementing DITA is an all-or-nothing proposition. The DITA Maturity Model divides a DITA adoption into six levels, with each level requiring a greater investment, and also reaping a greater ROI. Organizations with more resources, and more to gain, can invest considerably more time and effort into an implementation, but that doesn’t mean that smaller organizations need to be excluded from gaining any benefits that might accrue to them from a simple implementation.
