Advocating Project Management Process Maturity

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present a comprehensive model (Berkeley Project Management Process

Maturity (PM)2 Model) to determine and position an organizations relative Project Management levels with

other organizations. The model follows a systematic and incremental approach that evolves from an

unsophisticated level to a sophisticated PM maturity level. Each maturity level consists of major PM characteristics,

factors, and processes. The Berkeley (PM)2 model provides an orderly, disciplined process to achieve higher levels

of PM process maturity.
