Project Management Maturity Models: Literature Review and New Developments

The purpose of this paper is to analyze the different Project Management Maturity Models (PMMM) and give suggestions on how to select or develop a model to assess the Project Management Maturity of an organization. While it seems consolidated to classify PMMM into 5 levels, it would be useful to evaluate separately as “determinants of maturity”: a. the individuals (project managers and team members), b. the projects and how they are managed (with extension to portfolio and programs too), and c. the organization as a whole and its capacity to deploy and apply Project Management. This paper is the most recent, complete review on PMMM.
