Building a Pathway to Project Management Maturity

Any project management process improvement programme has to be sufficiently agile to ensure materials (and funding) are targeted to the right areas.

But how do you:

· Not only identify, but also measure, the areas of weakness in the first place?

· Build an adaptable, flexible roadmap to improve and measure performance?

At the Ministry of Education we have been building pathway to project management improvement founded on a project management maturity model to help.
