Full title and description
ISO/IEC 33001:2015 — Information technology — Process assessment — Concepts and terminology. Provides a consolidated repository of terminology and an introductory framework for process assessment within the ISO/IEC 33000 family, explaining how the parts of the family fit together and how assessment results apply to process management and improvement.
Abstract
ISO/IEC 33001:2015 defines key concepts and vocabulary for process assessment in information technology. It describes the purpose and scope of process assessment, the application of assessment results to evaluate process quality characteristics and to support process management, and guidance on selecting and using other parts of the ISO/IEC 330xx suite.

Scope
ISO/IEC 33001:2015 establishes a common set of definitions and conceptual material for performing and interpreting process assessments across information technology domains. It is intended to be used as the vocabulary and concepts base for the ISO/IEC 330xx family and to clarify the applicability of the suite’s requirements when conducting assessments.
Key topics and requirements
- Authoritative glossary of terms related to process assessment (process, assessment, assessment model, capability, maturity, indicators).
- Conceptual framework describing purpose, scope and application of process assessment.
- Guidance on how parts of the ISO/IEC 330xx family interrelate and how to select appropriate parts for specific assessment goals.
- Clarification of applicability of requirements from other family members (e.g., requirements for performing assessments, measurement frameworks, and assessment models).
- Replacement/supersession of the ISO/IEC 15504 Part 1 vocabulary and concepts by the ISO/IEC 33000 series approach.
Typical use and users
Used as the foundational vocabulary and concepts reference by process assessors, software and systems engineers, quality managers, process-improvement teams, consultants, conformity-assessment bodies and organizations implementing or comparing process capability/maturity models. It supports both self-assessment and externally performed assessments.
