Mike Kuniavsky recently pointed to the Software Acquisition Capability Maturity Model from the Carnagie Mellon Software Engineering Institute. I like the framework, and I imagine it could easily be ported to other tasks besides software aquisition (indeed, the model is borrowed from a more generic software maturity model). The model lays out five levels, from Initial ("Competent people and heroics") to Optimizing ("Continuous process improvement").
