Maturity Assessment

How well are you placed, right now to achieve the delivery of your projects and programmes you have in play or planned? How well is your portfolio(s) of work being optimised – are you running the right mix of investments? A Maturity Assessment takes a holistic view of your current delivery maturity and helps you to determine what’s required to see it climb to a higher level.

How

About IQANZ’s Maturity Assessment

We take a deep dive into current efficiencies and effectiveness across your governance, delivery frameworks, and initiatives, to assist you to build the right capabilities to deliver success. We’ll identify where your maturity currently sits, create a capability improvement roadmap and work with you to assess progress along the way, to help you go further and achieve more.

Our Maturity Assessment framework is based on the AXELOS Portfolio, Programme and Project Maturity Model (P3M3®). IQANZ is an AXELOS Consulting Partner for the P3M3 assessment tools.

What

What We Cover In Our Maturity Assessment

Kick-off

An opportunity for both parties to ensure a common understanding of the desired outcomes from the review. This is where we set engagement expectations and confirm the approach, review objectives, scope, timeframe, roles and responsibilities for the review.

Discovery

Review all documentation, including agreed sample projects and programmes, and hold interactive sessions with the EPMO.

Stakeholder Engagement

We will interview key stakeholders across the seven PM3 perspectives to provide us with an understanding of the frameworks, and how these frameworks are applied across your ogansations portfolios, programmes and projects.

Analysis and Reporting

Following Discovery, we will undertake a comprehensive analysis of our findings, complete the P3M3 assessment and produce a draft report detailing our findings, observations, and recommendations against the review objectives. A key output in the Capability Improvement Plan.

Validation & Closure

The draft report will be provided to ensure observations are factually correct. We will then facilitate a meeting to discuss our findings and observations with the sponsor and appropriate attendees to agree on appropriate medium and long term target scores and Capability Improvement Plan priorities.

How Do I Know If Our Business Needs A Maturity Assessment?

Low maturity levels in project, programme and portfolio management (P3M) have proven to cost organisations billions of dollars each year. Case studies demonstrate that improving P3M maturity by one level can provide cost savings of 10-20% as well as a reduction in benefits leakage by up to 15%.
Has your organisation experienced failures in the past that are recurring, seemingly caused by systemic issues? There may be some fundamental parts of the business that with a review and roadmap to improvement, could support more successful projects in future.

The P3M3 assessment across portfolio, programme and project-related activities is designed to determine the improvements across key process areas to define a progression of capability improvement, which an organisation can use to set goals and plan their improvement journey.

Process

When Is The Maturity Assessment Best Carried Out?

Any time. There is always the opportunity for all organisations to lift their delivery maturity. Even if a business doesn’t have immediate known concerns about its ability to deliver projects and programmes, a maturity assessment is a good measuring stick of the organisation’s ability to optimise its project and programme delivery success. If you want to improve your delivery effectiveness you first need to know your starting point. The best-unbiased way to do this is to establish an externally facilitated benchmark.

If there are issues around the business’ maturity in any given area(s), a maturity assessment is strongly recommended.
