Maturity models’ selection criteria for assessment in a specificorganisation: a case study

Resumen

The aim of this research is to make a small selection of existing maturity models that may be used toassess a specific organisation regarding PM maturity. The research was carried out analysing themost relevant and known maturity models, developed either by standards developing organisationsor specific researchers on the matter. The models’ implementation, mostly as online free selfassessmenttool and availability of information, have been looked into. As a result, selection criteriawere established and a narrower selection of models sorted out. This research is intended to be thefoundation of further studies, such as the assessment of a specific organisation through theapplication of a selected maturity model’s self-assessment. The objective of these studies are todefine an optimisation strategy for their processes, through detecting improvement opportunities orareas, as well as developing key performance indicators and improvement plans that would help theorganisation achieve the next level.
