With some processes in place, PM training completed, and no plan for formal certification, PMI’s Standard for Organizational Project Management (OPM) can guide a maturity assessment — even without a built-in questionnaire.
Key points from the standard:
- Establish a baseline of current maturity across project, program, and portfolio.
- Use a tailored model — not necessarily OPM3®, but one that fits your context.
- Align improvements directly to business objectives.
- Adapt to your size, culture, and goals — avoid one-size-fits-all.
You can apply a lightweight, free model within the OPM framework by:
- Running a self-assessment workshop.
- Mapping gaps to strategic priorities.
- Planning small, high-impact improvements.
Free/low-cost resources:
- Prado-MMGP Questionnaire (EN/PT) – 5 levels, 7 dimensions.

Even without certification, this aligns with PMI’s maturity growth approach and can be a solid step toward credentials like PMI-PMOCP™.
