Project
Management Maturation Assessments
Through an in-depth assessment you
will learn how your current skills, systems and organizational
design support or block the development of an improved
program and project management system. During this assessment,
all stakeholders are interviewed using top down methodology,
which is, interviewing from top management down to the
general worker. In addition, an analysis of documents used
to support your business direction, organization and communication
will be provided. Additionally, observation or participation
in typical work, planning or decision-making processes
is conducted to gain greater insight into your organization.
Organizational Project Management
Maturity Model (OPM3)
As a Registered Educational Provider (REP) with the Project
Management Institute (PMI), Project Masters is trained
and experienced with administering the Organizational Project
Management Maturity Model (OPM3). The OPM3 is a benchmarking
and assessment framework enabling organizations to reexamine
their pursuit of strategic objectives via Best Practices
in organizational project management. Project Masters
integrates OPM3 with Six Sigma and Statistical Process
Control (SPC) quality assurance activities to deliver comprehensive
organizational development results at the strategic, tactical
and operational levels.
The OPM3 process identifies and organizes a substantial
number of generally accepted and proven project management
practices, and provides a means to assess an organization’s
maturity against the Best Practices identified in the OPM3
standard. Organization-wide assessment results inform
decision-makers so they can decide whether to plan for
improvements – and how to approach the improvements – to
increase its maturity through capabilities development.
OPM3 results include:
Strengthens the link between strategic planning and
execution, so project outcomes are predictable, reliable,
and consistent, and correlate with organizational success;
Improved strategic planning and
execution linkage creates bidirectional traceability
between agency GPRA and PART performance goals with
individual project performance – a
quality necessary to define, justify, and manage resource
expenditures based on results throughout a project’s
life-cycle;
Identifies Best Practices that support implementation
of organizational strategy through successful projects;
Identifies the specific capabilities which comprise

portfolio management processes;
