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

The project management communityadopted process control
as a sign of maturity
Problem #1.

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)

12/71

www.kenniscentrumivz.hu.nl
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.

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.
8/10/2019 Contemporary Issues in PM Maturity
26/71
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

Core research question:
What non-process factors couldcontribute to a mature PM capability?

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).

Future Directions in Maturity
Measurement Current approaches vary in WHAT is
measured, not HOW
Developing new insights requires the
consideration of new research philosophies andmethods

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
and analysed automatically Census approach as all interactions can be
collected Geographical expansion beyond the boundaries

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.
