Project Management Maturity Model

Your company has recently experienced two significant project failures and is losing customers because of it. They have asked for your input on how to turn things around and improve project management processes. Unfortunately, from your perspective, there are no set processes to begin with; everyone approaches projects differently and there is little to no consistency across teams or departments.

Begin by reading about the project management maturity model in Chapter 21 in the text. Then, review the OPM3 Case Study: OPM3 in Action: Pinellas County IT Turns Around Performance and Customer Confidence (Links to an external site.) see attached*.

In 900-1200 words, summarize how the project management maturity model allowed the IT department to support the government of Pinellas County more effectively. Then, explain how you would convince your company to adopt the project management maturity model as a solution to its project management problems, noting specifically how project management maturity can benefit the business.

*Note: The project management maturity model is referred to as OPM3 in the assigned case study.
