The matrix shows advancing maturity from a rudimentary or elementary level of practice through stages to advanced, expert or best practice. Maturity matrix has 5 maturity level indicated with different colors. Description and typical characteristic of each proposed maturity level are shown in Table 2. Table 2. Maturity Level Description and Typical Characteristic Maturity Level Level 1 Needing Development Level 2 Elementary Level 3 Good Practice Level 4 Very Good Practice Level 5 Best Practice Maturity Level Description Lacks conformance to applicable guidelines, standards and best practice Conforms to applicable guidelines, standards and best practice in some areas Generally conforms to applicable guidelines, standards and best practice High degree of conformance with applicable guidelines, standards and best practice with good understanding High degree of understanding and conformance with applicable guidelines, standards and best practice. No significant opportunities for improvement The ‘Master Matrix’ lists dam safety program 'Components' on the vertical axis as shown on Figure 1. Components describe the main activities of a dam safety program and align with ICOLD terminology and are common groupings of dam safety activities around the world.
