That framework was a very heavy-handed process, which stood in stark contrast to the culture at Netflix where “process” was a bad word.
As the team at Netflix played with the model, it actually made sense. Turns out that the joke was not a joke. The Chaos Maturity Model actually provides value, particularly to organizations looking for ways to assess and increase their investment in Chaos Engineering practices.
In very broad terms, the software industry as a whole is not homogenous enough to support industry standards around Chaos Engineering. Infrastructures, cultures, expectations, and maturity are too different for a drop-in solution that would provide some base level of functionality comparable across different companies. In lieu of industry standards, the Chaos Maturity Model presents sliding scales on which different Chaos Engineering practices can be evaluated for comparison and refinement.
