Maturity Assessment

About Maturity Models

What is a Maturity Model, and why use one?

The use of a maturity model allows an organisation to have its methods and processes assessed according to management best practice, against a clear set of external benchmarks. Maturity is indicated by the award of a particular “Maturity Level”. Maturity level assessment of an organisation’s programme and project management will provide the following benefits:

• A known Maturity Level, with precise recommendations on how to improve.
• Ability for organisations to compare their Maturity Level with other organisations, or other parts of their own organisation.
• A big improvement on self-assessments.
  – A consistent set of questionnaires and scoring.
  – Independently verified and certified.
• An independently held set of “benchmarks”.

‘It is not enough to merely measure where you are now, you require a focused action plan and roadmap to enable your organisation to move to a higher level of maturity and thereby demonstrate “more effective project delivery”‘ (Sue Vowler).
