    Certain basic problems with currentconcept and modularization

    of PM maturity

    Historical context of maturity

    Came out of post-WW2 environment(Shewhart to Deming)

    Emphasis and appeal: to manufacturers

    serving a civilian community

    Management focus:

    high quality based on efficiency

    Process control was the key drive

    (principle of SPC)

    Achieve goals by minimizing variation

    Focus of manufacturers was to achieve quality

    bydefining, repeating and predicting processes

    Is this a good thing?

    The process has an identity: its performance ispredictable, measurable, and open to communication.

    Costs can be predictable.

    Regularity of output is achievable. Productivity can be maximized.

    Relationships can be greatly simplified (especially withvendors).

    The effects of changes within the systemcan bemeasured with greater speed and reliability

    In PM research

    Time management (Hameri & Heikkila, 2002) Fuzzy Front End (Nobelius and Trygg, 2002) Buffer Management (Goldratt, 1986). Cost

    Kwak et al.(2008) explore the role that a cost estimatingframework can play

    Mavrotes et al. (2005) explore cash flow forecasting tomanage funds in information and communicationstechnology (ICT) projects

    Sanchez and Perez (2004) further examine EWS as a wayto hypothesize or predict variation

  • 8/10/2019 Contemporary Issues in PM Maturity

    The project management communityadopted process control

    as a sign of maturity

    Problem #1.

  • 8/10/2019 Contemporary Issues in PM Maturity

    10/71

    Defining project management maturity...

    Much debate and interpretation

    Different views

    Technical meanings the extent to which an organizational project

    management capability has explicitly and consistentlydeployed processes that are documented, measured,controlled and continually improved(Cooke-Davies2004).

    Maturity in project management is the development ofsystems and processes that are repetitive in nature andprovide a high probability that each project will be a

    success.(Kerzner 2004)

    Organizational View company receptivity to project management (Saures

    1998) Project management maturity is the sophistication

    level of an organizations current project managementpractices and processes. (Ibbs, Reginato & Kwak 2004)

    Broader / abstract view

    as the sum of action, attitude and knowledge in the real world, we will not find the fully maturedorganization (Andersen & Jensen 2003)

  • 8/10/2019 Contemporary Issues in PM Maturity

    13/71

    Conceptual view varies acrosspractitioners and researchers

    (How do you assess maturity without clear definition?)

    Problem #2.

    The initial attempt to modularize and

    measure maturity came from

    OptimizingContinuous process improvement is enabled by quantitative

    feedback from the process and from piloting innovative ideas andtechnologies.

    ManagedDetailed measures of the processes and product quality are

    collected. Both the process and products are quantitatively

    understood and controlled.

    DefinedProcesses are documented, standardized, and integrated into a

    standard process for the organization. All projects use anapproved, tailored, version of the organizations standard processfor developing and maintaining software.

    Repeatable

    Basic project management processes are established to track

    cost, schedule, and functionality. The necessary process disciplineis in place to repeat earlier successes on projects with similarapplications.

    InitialThe process is characterized as ad hoc, and occasionally even

    chaotic. Few processes are defined, and success depends onindividual effort.

    Process Capability

    Process under statistical control has a definablecapability,

    Implies repeatability, predictability

    Associated advantages: these processes would beefficient and more effective

    Implies that a controlled process is being (or can be)managed and measured.

    Individual processes or groups of processes can beconsidered mature if they meet certain thresholds

    Problem #3.

    Project management maturity models

    reflect a limited history... emphasizing

    highly defined process control.

    Problem #4.

    Project management maturity

    is determined by

    what the model says is important.

  • 8/10/2019 Contemporary Issues in PM Maturity

    25/71

    Research Centre forInnovations in Health Care

    www.kenniscentrumivz.hu.nl

    Problems ...

    1. Not all projects have defined

    processes...making process control difficult.

    2. There is no universal definition of project

    management maturity.

    3. Project management maturity is determined

    by what the model says is important.

    4. Project management maturity models reflecta limited history emphasizing highly defined

    projects.

    Research Centre forInnovations in Health Care

    www.kenniscentrumivz.hu.nl

    Other considerations

    Project types and environments have multiplied andincreased in complexity

    Is it reasonable to apply the process control metricsused in a manufacturing setting to (for example)wicked projects?

    Do all industries, organizations have the sameexpectation for maturity?

    Projects lacking definition may be managed using unique,unpredictable, unrepeatable processes to achieve projectgoals

  • 8/10/2019 Contemporary Issues in PM Maturity

    27/71

    Core research question:

    What non-process factors couldcontribute to a mature PM capability?

    A multimethod study in 3 parts...

    1. Content analysis of 2 maturity model collections

    leading to conceptual framework

    2. Pilot case study leading to final case study

    design

    3. Case study at multiple universities leading to

    final conceptual model and conclusions

    Reliable e-Learning project management

    Satisfies project outcomes as defined by the project team (Williams,2006a). Generates data that illustrate support of institutional plans (Pitts and

    Siedlaczek, 2006, Jones, 2004). Produces pedagogically-sound, media-rich online courses that do

    not overlap existing ones (Malinski and MacRae, 2006, Chiazzese

    and Seta, 2006). Moves the institution forward by providing knowledge, processes

    and skills that have been integrated into normal institutional practice(Williams, 2006b, Wallace, 2006).

    Demonstrates a sustainability of management elements and an

    adaptability to new initiatives (Jones, 2004). Illustrates a high level of e-readiness (Pasian and Woodill, 2006)defined as the ability of HEIs and the capacity of the institutionalstakeholders to benefit from educational technology (or e-Learning).

    From Data to Big Data

    Big data, defined by three main characteristics :volume, velocity and variety(Frankel and Reid2008). Volume refers to the scale or amount of data

    (Zikopoulos and Eaton 2011). Velocity refers to the rate at which data may

    enter the organization (Sagiroglu and Sinanc2013).

    Variety refers to the heterogeneous nature ofbig data (Chen et al. 2012).

    Current Research Paradigms

    Qualitative Detailed knowledge of a given setting through

    unstructured or semi structured data collectionfrom a small number of sources (Denzin and

    Lincoln 2011). Quantitative Insights from analysis of associations between

    observed or latent variables (Groves 2011)

    Big Data and Evaluation

    Integrating a range of data linked to humaninteractions in natural settings (Dong andSrivastava 2013).

    These trends can have significant effects on data

    collection enabling Real time perspective as data can be collected

    Social Network Analysis

    Social Network Analysis enables researchers toexamine relationships between entities(Borgatti etal. 2009)

    Enable the understanding the underlying social

    processes in organisations. Can be used to understand the degree to which

    PM is aligned with, and integrated intoorganizational activities

    Support the designs of interventions improveproject performance.

    Text Analysis

    While manual content analysis has been appliedto understand project processes in organizations(Pasian 2011)

    Text-mining techniques enable the rapid review

    and summarization of large volumes unstructuredtext, including documents and emails(Sukanyaand Biruntha 2012).

    Enables assessors to develop an understanding of

    the organization based on the actualorganizational discourse on project management.

    Integrating SNA and Text Mining

    SNA and Text Mining combined can assessMaturity areas that are difficult to evaluate byconventional means Organizational support for PM

    Receptivity of PM. Text mining can identify the degree to which PM is

    embedded within the organization. Social network analysis can identify the extent to

    which all stakeholders engage with projectmanagement

    Challenges

    Data collection based on documents andrelationships can be intrusive

    May reveal information that may not have beenintended by the writer or creator(Wu et al. 2012).

    Aggregation of different types of data magnifiesthis issue as data (Pospiech and Felden 2012)

    Future Maturity Models

    Holistic and Adaptive Maturity Models.

    Holistic maturity models :all of an organizationsproject management related interactions andcontent, not just structured content, can beaccessed to assess its development.

    Possible to design interventions or developmentinitiatives that can be closer matched to thereality of the organizations context

    Adaptive maturity models: autonomous or

    ambient data collection and real time analysisapproaches Provide insights using visual displays to enable

    stakeholders to identify project management

    issues in near real time.
