The SEI accomplishes this mission by promoting the evolution of software engineering from an ad hoc, labour-intensive activity to a discipline that is well managed and ed by technology.
The five level Capability Maturity Model (CMM) 1.Initial 2.Repeatable 3.Define 4.Managed 5.Optimisation
B. The Project Management Process Maturity Model This model is called as “Organisational Project Management Maturity Model” or OPM3. This model will include a step-by-step method of increasing and maintaining an organisational capability to deliver what it has promised. It emphasis incremental improvement in single and multiproject management disciplines and ranks maturity across five level such as follows; 1. Ad-Hoc 2. Abbreviated 3. Organised 4. Managed 5. Adaptive
C. The Kerzner Project Management Maturity Model Dr. Kerzner presented a new five-level maturity model . Level-1: Common Language Level-2: Common Processes Level-3: Singular Methodology Level-4: Benchmarking Level-5: Continuous Improvement
D. Hartman SMART Project ManagementBased Maturity Francis Hartman , Professor of project management of the University of Calgary. A recent approach to improving quality of software development project. It is a five level model. Prof. Hartman says a number of technical, social and business issues must be address to develop truly competitive project delivery.
Technical issues • • • • •

F. The Benefit Realisation Approach How can I ensure that I ensure that will this project will contribute to the overall wellbeing of the organisation. The four critical dimension of complexity that insufficient for success: 1.Linkage 2.Reach 3.People 4.Time
The Knowledge Economy is characterised by the following Opportunities: Expanded geographical scope; expanded electronic commerce; virtual companies Risks: Increased complexity (linkage, reach people and time) Selection : If 20 projects are proposed and you can only do five, which five do you do? Relative Value : How do you measure or estimate value in advance? Three Fundamentals Program Management Portfolio Management Full Cycle Governance
