OAV Maturity Model

Published date | 7 November 2023

The Orchestration, Automation and Virtualisation (OAV) maturity model presented in this document has been created by the Network Development Work Package (WP6) of the GN5-1 project to provide a tool to compare and recognise similar goals and needs across NRENs, thereby boosting collaboration and cooperation in OAV in the research and education space. The maturity model enables organisations to assess their OAV capabilities, described through a set of dimensions. The results of the maturity model survey can help organisations evaluate their current state and determine their objectives in terms of OAV evolution, as well as establish a roadmap to follow in order to increase their OAV maturity level.
