Following up from the measurement scale for evaluating the maturity level of a project organisation, our new White Paper 2018-08 ‘How To Measure an Organization’s Project Management Maturity level for Large Complex Infrastructure Projects’ exposes the tips and tricks of measuring this maturity in real life.

Measuring the maturity level of large project-driven organizations is fraught with difficulty, in particular because maturity can depend on location, project size, execution of projects in Joint-Ventures, local aspects, etc. Therefore, the concept of a single maturity level for a very large international organization is of limited validity. There is a ‘theoretical maturity level’ based on the theoretical development level of the processes, systems, people; it is generally observable at the headquarters. And for each office or project office, there is an ‘office maturity level’ which can differ. The ‘office maturity level’ can sometimes be higher but is more frequently lower than the ‘theoretical maturity level’.

Measuring the Project Management Maturity Level of an organization is complicated by the fact that it might not be identical in all locations and by the fact that it requires a comprehensive review of the organizations capabilities. Still it is a useful indicator of overall efforts to be performed by the organization as well as for specific issues faced in some project offices. In that sense, the exercise is very beneficial to organizations inasmuch that it sometimes uncovers blind spots that might be extremely prejudicial to business performance. Inconsistencies in maturity levels across offices is also a key indicator of efforts to be made internally to improve consistency of delivery.
