Abstract: Developing and using Maturity Models (MMs) is an important topic for researchers and practitioners due to the importance of achieving enterprise goals in a measurable manner. In developing countries like Middle East and North Africa Region (MENA) region, Enterprise Governance of Information Technology (EGIT) plays a greater role in achieving new strategic visions set by emerging economic developing countries which have EGIT limited assigned resources, lack of EGIT knowledge, and higher levels of risk. Although there are many MMs for Information Technology (IT) and EGIT, there is a scarce in EGIT scientifically developed MMs especially for developing countries. This study proposes an easy-to-use and scientifically developed EGIT MM development methodology by developing an EGIT MM which is tested in three firms. The proposed MM development methodology will enable researchers in developing countries to be able to build and use scientific EGIT MMs that can support their respective context needs.
