What is the PRINCE2® Maturity Model (P2MM)?

The use of the PRINCE2® maturity model allows an organisation to have its methods and processes assessed according to management best practice, against a clear set of external benchmarks. PRINCE2® Maturity is indicated by the award of a particular "Maturity Level". The PRINCE2® Maturity Model (P2MM) itself is derived from the following:

Portfolio, Programme & Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3)
OGC’s Managing Successful Projects with PRINCE2®
APMG process for establishing a P2MM/P3M3 maturity level

There are three levels of maturity within the P2MM, each level focuses on a limited set of “Key Process Areas”. The P2MM describes the “Key Practices” related to each of the process area in terms of what an organisation should be doing. It is designed to assess how an organisation can implement and use PRINCE2® shifting the implementation focus from the individual to the organisation. This new shift of emphasis has enabled organisations to build robust end to end project management process frameworks, understand and fill gaps in their existing processes and plot road maps towards improving organisational capability using PRINCE2®.

PRINCE2® Maturity Model allows an organisation to have its methods and processes gauged according to management best practice, against a clear set of external benchmarks. PRINCE2® Maturity is indicated by the award of a particular "Maturity Level". There are three levels of maturity within the P2MM:

Initial Level - Does the organisation recognise projects and run them differently from its ongoing business? (Projects may be run informally with no standard process or tracking system).
Repeatable Level - PRINCE2® is adopted by projects within the organisation, but is applied inconsistently across projects within the organisation.
Defined Level - PRINCE2® has been tailored to align to other organisational processes and is the adopted standard for all projects within the organisation.
