Maturity models
are extremely valuable in establishing an organisation’s current capabilities
in project, programme and portfolio management (P3M) and providing a roadmap
for future improvement. With uncertainty still hanging over the PMI’s OPM3
model, AXELOS’ Project, Programme and Portfolio Management Maturity Model (P3M3®) is now the leading global P3M maturity
framework and p3m global, an AXELOS Consulting Partner (ACP), have discovered a
bitesized way for you to benefit from it.
Last year (2015),
AXELOS made some major revisions to P3M3, expanding it in both breadth and
depth by including such additional elements as commercial management, asset
management and behaviours. It has also been restructured to enable common ‘Threads’
across each of the Project, Programme and Portfolio models to be evaluated, in
order to better diagnose areas of improvement across the Seven Perspectives. Lastly,
the authors have deliberately improved alignment with other (non-AXELOS) methodologies
and bodies of knowledge to make it more appealing for PMI/IPMA aligned
organisations.
At a high level
this new version (v3) is compatible with the previous version (v2) such that
scores from 0 to 5 across each of the Perspectives remain valid. It is at this
high level where significant value can be obtained from very little investment.
The AXELOS P3M3 Model
Within a few
days, a facilitated self-assessment from p3m global can provide a good initial evaluation
of an organisation’s capabilities in project, programme and portfolio
management ensuring that it doesn’t have to cost a lot to find out where you
are.
So why do one?
- Map your route (and know why you’re going!): Evaluating and
benchmarking current levels of P3M by discipline (Perspectives and
Threads) can help justify the business case for improvement
initiatives and provide clear performance metrics for these improvements
in the future. Moreover, its structure can provide a convenient roadmap to
success.
- Stick to what’s important to YOU: Focus the improvements
required to achieve levels that are desirable and appropriate to your particular
organisation. There is no point in investing in the parts of P3M3 that
your organisation does not value.
- Wear the badge: a rapid, facilitated self-assessment can
quickly establish a P3M3 maturity score for your organisation that can be
easily translated to a full, official certification when you are ready,
showing your customers and partners that you are serious about P3M.
- Unlock the benefits of improved P3M maturity:
- improved selection and
delivery of the organisation's portfolio of projects and programmes
('doing the right projects and programmes' and 'doing the projects and
programmes right')
- improved realisation of value
from investments
- improved quality of
deliverables leading to improved customer satisfaction
- easier to
maintain control of projects and programmes leading to improved
employee satisfaction
- improved predictability leading to better financial forecasting
Will all this on offer for a fraction of the cost
of a traditional CMMI or OPM3 assessment it’s not surprising that P3M3 is
starting to take off.
