PROJECT MANAGEMENT MATURITY AND ITS IMPACT ON PERCEIVED PROJECT SUCCESS

A CASE STUDY

Authors

Abstract

A notion exists that organisations with higher levels of project management maturity execute projects more effectively and efficiently and so have a higher probability of achieving project success. This paper reports on a single case study that measured the project management maturity of four project management knowledge areas, and also investigated the impact of project management maturity on perceived project success in a mining operation. The study found that project management maturity plays a pivotal role in achieving project management deliverables. However, project management maturity alone is not sufficient to guarantee project success.
