I think we should look at the Open Group SOA maturity model LF
I wonder how usable the answeres will be LF ...I was going to say should we ask the question based on a given maturity model as Leo mentioned or OSIMM?

2.2 If you have indicated 1.2 Has there been a significant change in your maturity level in the last 5 years, can you describe the projects that have done most to advance that maturity?
21.3 If there has been a significant change, can you identify the main top 3 drivers for the that change?
2.4 Are there any additional comments you would like to add to elaborate on the SOA maturity of your organization?

4.1 Are you using the web service integration capabilities of any of the following:
4.2 Do you have any additional comments on the use of these capabilities?
Note: in this section the word service is used in the narrow technical sense of a capability that is available through a machine readable interface (web service RMI
etc) rather than service in the broader ITIL sense.
5.1 Does your organization include architectural reviews in its project methodology
1=not at all 5=consistently
5.2 Are the principles of SOA applied during architectural reviews?
1=not at all 5=consistently

5.5 Is there a central (enterprise wide) repository

for service contracts?

5.7 Has SOA changed your IT governance? If so, how?
Successful SOA is dependent depends on a clearly articulated ontology. Service endpoints must be able need to understand tha the data contained in messages. Maturity around data architecture is
a precondition for SOA maturity.
...
6.1 Do you have a conceptual enterprise data model?
...
1=none at all 5=a complete model
6.2 Do you have well documented logical data models?
1=none at all 5=a complete model
6.3 Do you have well documented physical data models?
1=none at all 5=a complete model
6.4 Have you developed governance structures around data?
1=None at all 5=Mature governance
Services need to be built on mature identity and access management practices. Successful IAM is another precondition for successful SOA.
7.1 Do you have an enterprise Identity and Access Management roadmap?
7.2 When applications invoke services on behalf of a user, are requests represented as coming from the user?

7.5 More generally, how do you manage trust between distributed components ?
8.1 Is SOA part of your Software Development Life-cycle?
1=Not at all 5=Consistently

3.4 Has SOA changed your IT governance? If so, how?
4.1 Which of the following capabilities are exposed (either entirely, or partially) as service endpoints?
4.2 Please explain in greater detail the key components of your Enterprise IAM solution and how your services inter-operate with IAM
5.1 Have your SOA projects been informed by high-level architectural artifacts?
5.2 Do you version your service contracts during the design process?
