The University of Twente explores the process capability maturity in large organizations. The purpose of this study is to determine the maturity level of project organizations on both project management, program management, and portfolio management. The Portfolio, Program, and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3) is used for this. Seven key process areas (i.e. management control, benefits management, financial management, stakeholder management, risk management, organizational governance, and resource management) are investigated on their process maturity. Next to this the main bottlenecks in formalizing the project organization are identified.
Maturity models are used to describe the level of development of business processes and to express this in a quantifiable value. Based on this value processes can be optimized in a structured way to a desired level. The P3M3 best-practice model helps organizations to improve project, program, and portfolio management processes in a realistic and structured way with a minimal risk.
We ask for your cooperation in this study. By means of your participation in this survey we expect to get an impression of the maturity in project organizations and the challenges they are dealing with. You can fill out the survey on the working unit level (e.g. department, division, corporate) that is applicable to your specific situation in the organization. The survey consists of 36 questions and takes about 20 minutes to complete. Results are processed anonymously. Participants receive an indication of their process capability maturity based on their survey results and an overview of the main results of this survey.
Please forward the survey link above to your circle of acquaintances (e.g. colleagues, friends, relatives) to whom this research is of interest. This will help to increase the reliability of this study.
