What is a P3M3 Assessment?

The Portfolio, Programme, and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3) allows you to evaluate and benchmark your current performance, pinpoint areas for improvement, and devise effective optimisation strategies.

P3M3 provides a structured framework for organisations to assess their current capabilities and plan for enhancements in managing and delivering change. Since its introduction in 2005, it has included three maturity models that can be used either individually or together. These models help organisations focus on specific business areas or, more broadly, evaluate the relationships between their portfolios, programs, and projects.

The P3M3 Maturity Model

Maturity in P3M3 is described by a 5-level framework, where each level identifies ‘how well’ the organisation has embedded portfolio, programme and project management processes.

  • Level 1: Awareness of process
  • Level 2: Repeatable process
  • Level 3: Defined process
  • Level 4: Managed process
  • Level 5: Optimised process

In addition, P3M3 focuses on seven perspectives, that exist across the three models and are assessed at all five maturity levels. The perspectives group together one or more processes, and are:

  1. Organisational governance
  2. Management control
  3. Benefits management
  4. Risk management
  5. Stakeholder management
  6. Finance management
  7. Resource management.
