contents <p>Enterprises face significant challenges in transitioning from DevOps to comprehensive platform engineering frameworks in cloud-native environments. While organizations have successfully adopted containerization and Kubernetes, systematic platform engineering evolution remains fragmented across industry sectors. The primary challenge is the absence of structured maturity models to guide progression from reactive infrastructure management to proactive platform abstraction and developer-centric automation.</p> <p>This article introduces the Platform Engineering Maturity Model (PEMM), a six-dimensional framework encompassing infrastructure standardization, automation depth, governance integration, security embedding, developer self-service, and operational observability. PEMM enables organizations to benchmark current capabilities, identify transformation priorities, and establish systematic progression strategies. The framework addresses gaps in existing models by providing measurable constructs specifically designed for enterprise cloud-native transformation, validated through three enterprise implementations and interviews with twelve platform engineering practitioners across technology, finance, and telecommunications sectors. Implementation scenarios demonstrate practical utility across container orchestration, infrastructure restructuring, pipeline harmonization, and governance automation initiatives. The framework provides a structured evaluation methodology for measuring progress toward operational excellence and business scalability requirements.</p>
