BROCS

The BROCS assessment

Twenty statements, four per letter. Score the ones that are true today and you get a scoreline.

View as Markdown

Check every statement that is true of your organization today. Not planned, not in someone’s roadmap, not true for one team that figured it out on their own. True.

Your score for each letter is the number of statements you could check, so each letter lands between 0 and 4 and the whole thing reads as a scoreline: B3 R2 O1 C2 S0.

Nothing is stored and nothing is sent anywhere. The scoreline lives in the URL, so the link is the result: send it to whoever needs to see the gap.

B Build: Enable people to make things.
R Run: Give the work somewhere to live.
O Observe: See what it is doing.
C Control: Keep a hand on the wheel.
S Secure: Prove it is not going off the rails.

Scoring

One point per statement that is true today. Zero is a common and honest answer for a letter nobody owns yet. The point of the scoreline is to make the gap nameable in a meeting, not to produce a good number.
