1. Project management maturity, as presented in the Self-Instructional
Manual, indicates how well a company has evolved its project management approach, strategy, decision-making, and its set of management approaches. There are five levels to assess an organization's project management maturity: initial process, structured process and standards, organization standards and institutional process, managed process, and optimizing the process. These tools can be used to evaluate project management maturity. Furthermore, a high level of maturity is required in an organization because it will influence the completion of a project and flow as well as its success. As a result, if the project management maturity is low, it indicates disturbing effects that will surely impact the project's success. The first implication that I can conclude is that the organization is not making efficient and effective use of its available assets/ resources. In addition, this might also be a result of the management's confusing decision-making process and handling of project management. Having a low maturity level of project management is a disturbing scenario for organizations and ignoring it is a poor decision that needs to be corrected and addressed right away because everything will be put to waste if the project management process continually functions not competitively.
