This work seeks to: a) develop a concept of collaborative maturity, based on the adjusted systematization of the concept of collaborative governance elaborated by Emerson et al. (2015), perfecting the model previously elaborated by Costa (2016), and elements and questions usually present en established models of maturity; b) operationalize the concept, through the construction of an instrument for measuring collaborative maturity; and c) to test the validity of the content of the operationalization from the semantic validity of the instrument vis-à-vis the model of Emerson. The text is divided into five parts. An introduction addresses the methodological issues that pertain to the construction of models. Part two deals with collaborative governance and presents the systematization elaborated by Emerson et al. (2012). Part three deals with maturity and presents methodological issues related to the construction of maturity models. Part four deals with the construction of the collaborative maturity model and its validation of content. The last part elaborates considerations on limitations and follow-ups.
