What is OPM3

OPM3 Organizational Project Management Maturity Model


Evaluate your organization’s performance in project, programme and portfolio mode.


The Project Management Institute (PMI®) developed a reference model about the way to manage all types of project. This model is detailed in the referential: Organizational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3®).



It is a structured group of best practices intended to assess, evaluate and improve the activities of an organization responsible to control portfolio, program and project management.

The OPM3 model allows the identification of the organization’s position on a continuum of organizational project management maturity, as described below:

  • Level 1 : Standardize
    according to the study The Value of Project Management (PMI 2008), approximately 50% of the organizations reached this level of maturity
     
  • Level 2 : Measure
    47% of organizations in this study reached this level
     
  • Level 3 : Control
    only 3% of organizations in this study reached this level
     
  • Level 4 : Continuous improvement
    none of organizations in this study has reached this level
