What is the Programme Management Maturity Model (PMMM)? Description
The Programme Management Maturity Model (PMMM) provides a mechanism through
which an organization or a group within an organization can do the following:
It can make an assessment of itself. (In program management terms).
It can compare its own maturity with other organizations on a fair basis.
It can compare its own maturity with benchmarks from similar organizations.
It can understand its strengths and weaknesses.
It can develop a plan to improve its ability to deliver successful programs.
The benchmark takes place on the following 10 key program management
processes:
Management organization.
Program planning.
Management of benefits.
Management of stakeholders.
Issue management & risk management.
Quality management & auditing.
Configuration management.
Internal communication.
Accounts and finances.
Management of scope & change.
Each stage of maturity for each of ten key program management processes
is summarized by a question. A program can then be rated on the basis of the
answers to the questions.
Using a computer spreadsheet and a graphics tool, the ratings can be converted
into a visual profile of the program. This profile shows which of the selected
10 aspects of program management are well developed and which are less well
developed. Currently, ProgM (the joint program management special interest
group of the British Computer Society and the Association for Project Management)
provides a free service to generate such profiles. The "quid pro quo" is that
the anonymous ratings data can be added to the database of programs that the
organization maintains. Since the Model’s initial creation, ProgM have analyzed
a large number of different programs of all types from around the world and
the results have been incorporated into the database. This database can now
provide a benchmark against which any programs can be compared.
Origin of PMMM. History
The PMMM is based upon the processes defined in the CCTA publication: "Managing
Successful Programmes". It was developed by ProgM, the program management
special interest group, and published into the public domain.
Calculation of the Programme Management Maturity Model. Formula
A spreadsheet model analyses the results.
Usage of PMMM. Applications
An organization can benchmark a single program or its overall program management
maturity in comparison with a large database of other organizations.
Steps in the PMMM. Process
Complete the self assessment via a questionnaire.
Send the questionnaire to ProgM.
Receive a profile showing maturity in 10 aspects of program management.
Strengths of the Programme Management Maturity Model. Benefits
The model deals with 10 recognized aspects of program management.
Organizations can benchmark themselves against similar organizations
and plan a series of improvements to help deliver rapid benefits.
Programs may be compared with each other.
There is currently no associated cost with the tool.
Limitations of the PMMM. Disadvantages
Self assessment can cause inaccurate or distorted data.
The process is simple and can only be a guide.
Assumptions of PMMM. Conditions
To be useful, the assessment must be honest. The organization must be running
at least one program of change.
