receiving, by the at least one processor, input data that is provided through an assessment platform;

analyzing, by the at least one processor, the input data to generate one or more metrics that each provide a measurement of an operational aspect of an organization, wherein the one or more metrics include one or more metrics that provide an assessment of a software or system development lifecycle (SDLC);

generating, by the at least one processor, one or more tasks based on one or more of the input data and the one or more metrics; and
