OPM3 was the vehicle by which we did this.”. Early 2005: Third Assessment, The Customers Appear. A third assessment was conducted in early 2005. This time, IT was represented by a substantial group of 22 people, and fully a third of all participants were now from customer departments. Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3) Knowledge Foundation Organizational. DOWNLOAD PDF. The OPM3 Self-Assessment—an interactive tool provided on the OPM3 CD-ROM—is an example of such a tool.

If you were a gardener who wished to grow a Florida orange tree from a seed to maturity, you would probably be pleased if I offered you a water bucket. That’s assuming you interpret the words “water bucket” to mean a bucket of water. Obviously if I were only offering you a bucket that could contain water but didn’t, then you would not have what you needed. Certainly you would have the shape of what you needed, but not the thing itself. At best, you might find this aggravating. At worst, your seedling could die. Either way, it is what’s in the bucket that you need.

Obviously we are interested in growing organizations, not oranges. But the metaphor is useful: The OPM3 Standard is to water what OPM3 Online and OPM3 ProductSuite are to water buckets and buckets of water, respectively.

Introduction As HWP Consulting, we introduced in 2014 a Project Success Scan and we collected data points of more than 200 companies (see ). In 2017 we became an accredited AXELOS Consulting Partner for the P3M3 Maturity Model. Many organizations are using traditional project management as well as agile delivery frameworks and in my opinion it’s not that black or white, you have to choose, depending on the change initiative, the right framework to make the change happen and that can contain traditional as well as agile flavors. When we look at the current P3M3 v3 model, I have problems to incorporate the agile way of working. How to cope with a permanent agile team? In this article, I am proposing an extension of the P3M3 model to incorporate this agile way of working and I am looking forward to your feedback. At the end of the article there is a link to a very small questionnaire, which I hope you can complete.

Before I go into my proposal a short overview of the existing P3M3. P3M3 At this moment AXELOS offers P3M3 version 3. To download: P3M3 version 3 contains three models, reflecting portfolio (PfM3), Programme (PgM3) and Project (PjM3) Management.

A few years ago I created a P3M3 Quick Reference Card. See As a consequence of receiving the P3M3 Assessor badge from AXELOS after I passed for the P3M3 Consultant examination, I had to update my P3M3 QRC to correspond with the latest P3M3 version. At this moment AXELOS offers P3M3 version 3. This model is based on the five known maturity levels: Level 1: Awareness of process, Level 2: Repeatable process, Level 3: Defined process, Level 4: Managed process, Level 5: Optimized process. In P3M3 version 3 we see the three models reflecting portfolio (PfM3), Programme (PgM3) and Project (PjM3) Management. We still see the same seven perspectives: Management Control, Benefits Management, Financial Management, Stakeholder Management, Risk Management, Organizational Governance and Resource Management. P3M3 can be used independently of your chosen project, programme or portfolio management method or framework.

To download: New are the max. 13 threads: Asset Management, Assurance, Behaviors, Commercial Commissioner, Commercial Deliverer, Information and Knowledge Management, Infrastructure and Tools, Model Integration, Organization, Planning, Process, Standards and Techniques. The most detailed questions are now the diagnostic attribute statements. You can perform, by yourself, a Standard self assessment (for free) or Enhanced self assessment (subscription). The latter offers you on top of the standard self assessment a maturity tracker, detailed results and a benchmark.

It is also possible, via an accredited consulting organization to perform a full accreditation assessment resulting in your maturity level based on P3M3 or a full further diagnostic assessment including an improvement plan to achieve the next maturity level., as an Accredited P3M3 Consulting Organization can help you in performing a P3M3 full accreditation assessment or full further diagnostic assessment including an improvement plan based on your own objectives. To avoid bias we can facilitate your self assessment as well. In the last “projectie, edition 04-2014”, the bi-monthly magazine of ipma-nl, I published a Dutch article about the many methods and frameworks that are available in the field of portfolio, programme and project management. To download: I created a sort of quick reference card with available standards and frameworks (It’s limited, there are many more). To download: In the middle of the quick reference card you find a generic model with portfolio, programme and project management as horizontal boxes. Behind these boxes you will find vertical boxes with PMO, IT, benefits management, value management and risk management to support project, programme and portfolio management.
