A technique used by organizations to evaluate business or project performance, assess capability for continuous improvement, and determine organizational maturity.

Assess business effectiveness, provide improvement examples, and support better investment decisions.

Comparing an organization's processes with those of others who show better performance or use world-class strategies.

Models used to compare project management practices within and across organizations.

A 'one-size-fits-all' approach to PMM assessments is ineffective as organizations and industries vary in maturity.

Using maturity models to create action plans and address performance gaps, improving organizational maturity.

Maturity models help develop consistent performance through a shared understanding and terminology.

Determining a firm's progress towards established performance standards and best practices.

OPM3 (Organizational Project Management Maturity Model) is a system for measuring the maturity of project management practices within an organization. It compares an organization's activities to standardized best practices in project, program, and portfolio management.

OPM3 categorizes organizations into four maturity levels: 1. Standardize (structured processes), 2. Measure (data analysis), 3. Control (plans for measures), 4. Continuously improve (optimized processes).

OPM3 is designed to align with the PMBOK (Project Management Body of Knowledge) methodology, a widely recognized standard for project management.

Similar to OPM3, a Management Maturity Model (MMM) assesses an organization's capability and performance in various management areas, including project management.

Different organizations and institutions develop their own MMMs (e.g., PMI®, AXELOS®, IPMA®). These models have strengths and weaknesses in assessing maturity.

Organizations change and adapt over time, like biological species, to survive in their environment and respond to new trends. Their success depends on their agility and ability to evolve.

A framework that provides a set of practices to improve processes in software development, systems engineering, and product development. It helps organizations build better systems and achieve better performance.

The CMMI framework categorizes organizations into five levels based on their process maturity: Initial, Managed, Defined, Quantitatively Managed, and Optimizing.

A model that helps organizations assess their maturity in managing portfolios, programs, and projects. It focuses on seven core processes: organizational governance, management control, benefits management, risk management, financial management, resource management, and stakeholder management.

A framework developed to help any organization, regardless of size or location, assess its maturity levels in project management. It is a widely used model for improving project management practices.

Organizations can enhance their maturity levels by implementing best practices, addressing performance gaps, and developing effective processes. This leads to improved capabilities and better performance.

Maturity models promote a shared understanding of key concepts and terminology within organizations, creating a common language for communication and improvement efforts.
