El propósito de ‘Organizacional Process Definition’ (OPD), perteneciente al Nivel de Madurez 3, es establecer y mantener un conjunto de ventajas del proceso organizacional y estándares de ambiente de trabajo. Una librería de ventajas del proceso de la organización es una colección de ítems utilizada por la gente y en los proyectos de la organización. Esta colección de ítems incluye descripciones de proceso y elementos de proceso, descripciones de los modelos del ciclo de vida, guía para realizar un proceso, documentación relacionada al proceso y datos.
Las ventajas del proceso organizacional son utilizadas para realizar la implementación del proceso definido. Los estándares del ambiente de trabajo son utilizados para crear el ambiente de trabajo del proyecto. Un proceso estándar está compuesto de otros procesos o elementos de proceso. Un elemento de proceso es la principal unidad de definición del proceso y describe las actividades y tareas necesarias para realizar el trabajo. La arquitectura del proceso suministra reglas para conectar los elementos del proceso pertenecientes a un proceso estándar. El conjunto de procesos estándares de la organización puede incluir varias arquitecturas de proceso.
OPD se relaciona con las siguientes áreas de proceso: SSM y OPF.

ORGANIZATIONAL PROCESS FOCUS
El propósito de ‘Organizacional Process Focus’ (OPF), perteneciente al Nivel de Madurez 3, es planear e implementar el mejoramiento del proceso organizacional basado en el entendimiento de las fortalezas y debilidades de los procesos de la organización y de las ventajas del proceso. Los procesos de la organización incluyen todos los procesos utilizados en la organización y en sus proyectos.
El mejoramiento del proceso ocurre dentro del contexto de las necesidades de la organización y es utilizado para tratar los objetivos de la organización.
