| Abstract [eng] |
The strategic value of organizational Project Management Maturity in achieving successful project outcomes is widely acknowledged. However, the journey to improve project management maturity levels often presents inherent challenges. This research seeks to identify these challenges using an extensive review of existing literature, focusing on analyzing diverse Project Management Maturity Models (PMMM). It embarks on a comprehensive analysis of these models before selecting an apt one for evaluating organizational project management maturity by research respondents. The research employs qualitative analytical practices through semi-structured interviews, aligning findings with Kerzner's PMMM. The data analysis is divided into two core sections—analyzing specific challenges identified during the interviews, and finding broader trends and patterns across varying maturity levels. The insights derived contribute to theoretical literature and providing practical knowledge for project management decision-makers. The study extends to encompass industry-wide challenges, thereby highlighting solutions and contributing to the development of best practices that elevate project management maturity across diverse industries. An in-depth understanding of these challenges is pivotal to resolving them, subsequently enabling mature project management practices to deliver enhanced value. Furthermore, the research seeks to propose strategic recommendations that support organizations in navigating these challenges. Special emphasis is placed on areas such as resource allocation, alignment of business objectives, and managing resistance to change. The outcomes of this research aim to stimulate subsequent investigations into understanding these challenges at a deeper level, thereby paving the way for growth in project management maturity. Overall, for project managers and stakeholders, this study provides an opportunity to equip themselves with tools and strategies that lead their organizations to attain higher maturity levels in project management. |
