PMO Maturity Survey
Status Quo of the Institutionalisation of Organizational Project and Program Management
Companies are facing new challenges in the field of project management. In the past, the focus mainly lied on single, independent projects. Today, projects generally show a complex contentual and timely subjection. To ensure an efficient and effective project delivery, subjections must be considered. To do so, a holistic view of the project landscape is necessary. This comprehensive management of projects and programs is a relatively low importance ascribed to. While there is funded knowledge of methods and processes at the operative level of project management, there is a significant gap in knowledge about the comprehensive coordination of projects for the delivery of strategic goals.
Objective
The survey iniciated by the chair of Business Informatics III at the University of Erlangen Nuremberg aims to analyse the status quo of the development and distribution of program management and its institutionalisation in organisations. The focus lies on giving answers to the following questions:
- With the help of Program Management, how can the corporate strategy be ideally implemented?
- What success-critial variables are there in the context of program management?
- What stage of maturity do processes and methods of program management reach?
- What IT-Systems can be used to support the program management?
Beyond that, the maturity of organisational units (Project/Program Management Offices, PMOs) that undertake the task of comprehensive management will be analysed in the survey.
