Choose a Template — Documentation

Alev-B includes over 20 battle-tested assessment templates covering a wide range of IT domains — from DevOps and cloud to AI strategy and governance. Instead of starting from scratch, select the right template, fill it with your insights, and immediately get structured results and AI recommendations.

Template Library

The library is organized by domain. Here is an overview of the available categories:

IT Delivery Audit — Delivery processes, release quality, sprint efficiency, team velocity
Security & Compliance — Security maturity, NIST CSF, CIS Controls, GDPR readiness
AI & Automation — AI maturity, MLOps, RPA readiness, data quality
IT Strategy — Digital transformation, innovation culture, IT-business alignment
DevOps — DORA metrics, CI/CD maturity, platform engineering, SRE adoption
Cloud — Cloud adoption, FinOps, multi-cloud strategy, migration readiness
IT Governance — COBIT alignment, risk management, IT steering, vendor management

Plan Requirements

Access to the template library depends on your subscription plan:

Free — 3 templates (entry-level IT Delivery Audit, Security Basics, AI Quickcheck)
Starter — 8 templates across all categories
Professional — 15 templates including industry-specific variants
Enterprise — All templates + custom templates on request

Info

Templates not included in your current plan are shown as locked in the library. Clicking on them opens an overview of which plan unlocks access.

Standalone vs. Project-Bound

You have two options for using a template:

Standalone — The assessment is conducted independently of clients and projects. Ideal for internal analyses, demos, or a quick first impression. Results are private and not linked to a client.
Project-bound — The assessment is part of a project for a specific client. The client's industry and company size flow automatically into benchmark calculations. The assessment appears in the project PDF report.

Tipp

For an industry comparison, we recommend embedding the template directly into a project with an assigned client. Only then can the platform load the correct industry benchmarks and generate a meaningful comparison.

Click "Templates" in the left sidebar. The library shows all available templates as cards — with category, number of questions, and maturity focus.
