We here at Rogue University have come up with our very own assessment tool – the Rogue Maturity Model. It’s still a work in progress (and probably always will be), and we’re going to crowd-source it. That means you can contribute to the development of the RMM.
The Rogue Maturity Model assessment tool is a spreadsheet, available via Google Docs. Feel free to click on over, open it up and add your own recommendations.
Please let us know in the comments section when you add something.

Tiny and networked in 3D??
I added a line on "motivational model" to the Google Docs version.
I wasn't sure how to write the middle entry for the line because I think about this sliced a different way.
I think the most mature organization would not be completely rogue. When I think of the pure Rogue model, I think of Interval Research. Did lots of cool and interesting stuff, but eventually was shut down by Paul Allen because it didn't go anywhere. I think the most mature organization is always (re)balancing between Rogue (as in the model) and other forms, and I think that happens fractally - in people, in projects, at different organizational levels. I'm not sure I want the CFO of my organization going Rogue, at any level. I do probably want him at least "Improved" though.
I would recommend that the model be refactored, as they say in agile programming. Maybe we can hash it out over coffee some time when we're both in DC or Fairborn.
For some reason I'm fond of 5 levels, rather than three. I'm not sure if SEI ruined me, or there's something natural about the number.
