Assessing an organizations PM Maturity (and improving it)

Richard Harsell Ashburn, Va, United States

While PMI has a questionnaire for assessing PM maturity, I wanted to see if there are other tools or processes associated with assessing and improving the PM capabilities of an organization. I am most interested in those that might apply to a government organization.
Thanks in advance.

There is the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) from the Software Engineering Institute that contains assessments of project management as it pertains to process, software, and service development. This has been around for quite a while and is very useful.

In the federal government, particularly in Defense (DoD), Earned Value is often required which requires a fairly high level of project management maturity. In smaller government organizations, this is not usually needed.

There is also this from Outperform which discusses maturity models.

IBM has their own tool called PMPMG which I believe was instrumental in forming most of the OPM3 model.
