Don't you think these should be included in yearly organization survey.

Other than that these can also be addressed in 1x1, and appraisals.

Yes, I agree. At the ground level, it is the employees who work in teams and follow the practices. So, I believe an empowered employee can also have a definitive say in the effectiveness of the practices that they follow.

The effectiveness of project management is in achieving the objectives. The objectives vary from organization to organization. It could be on-time delivery, under budget, brand value, customer satisfaction, etc.

Normally the objectives are given priority to facilitate decision making and trade-offs. For some organizations new customer acquisition may be higher priority and may be willing to give up on profits. In a situation like this, the organization may decide to exceed the project budget to achieve higher customer satisfaction. This doesn't mean the project management process & practices are ineffective in controlling the project cost.

In short, decide what are the top 3 objectives of the organization and find out if the projects are producing the results to meet those objectives to assess the project management process & practices effectiveness.

Its very good question and thanks for asking.
