Today, someone inquired about the Web Analytics Maturity Model (WAMM) I crafted 15 years ago, now known as the Digital Analytics Maturity Model (DAMM).
Initially met with skepticism—'all models are wrong, some are useful' and 'been there, done that'—it has since passed the 'test of fire.' As the Gartner analysts at the time said, "the biggest value of a model is the conversation it sparks."
Despite some uncredited imitations, many in the #digitalanalytics community have embraced and evolved the concept. Even recently, Peter O'Neill talked about it at the Superweek Analytics Summit conference.
In 15 years, I've only merged 'Scope' with 'Objectives'; the rest stands strong. It can even easily be applied to measure the maturity of #digitalmarketing or #customerexperience.
How has the DAMM shaped your career? Is 'maturity' still relevant?
Inquires, comments and feedback always welcomed!
