Organizational maturity is a measure of an organization’s ability to deliver predictable outcomes including on-time delivery, productivity, quality, compliance and customer satisfaction. Streamlining your processes and focusing on continuous improvement helps increase your maturity level, which leads to higher project success rates and better outcomes.

What maturity is and why it matters
What is maturity?
Maturity is the measure of an organization’s ability to deliver success across its projects, programmes, and portfolios. It reflects how well-defined, repeatable, and optimized your management practices and processes are - ensuring predictable results in terms of time, cost, quality, and benefits realization.
Why does maturity matter?
Maturity has a proven link to organizational performance and strategic success. Global research consistently shows a strong positive correlation between project management maturity and key business outcomes such as efficiency, stakeholder satisfaction, and return on investment.
How PRINCE2 P3M3 Maturity links to outcomes
The higher your PRINCE2 P3M3 maturity level, the greater your ability to deliver projects and programmes that achieve their intended outcomes. Higher maturity supports better decision-making, clearer governance, and improved alignment between projects, programmes, and organizational goals.
A Global Standard for Project, Programme, and Portfolio Management
PRINCE2 P3M3 is a globally recognized model for assessing organizational maturity in project, programme, and portfolio management. It drives continuous improvement through actionable recommendations guided by PRINCE2 principles and practices. At the same time, it remains framework-agnostic and can be applied regardless of the methods or frameworks an organization uses to manage its projects, programmes, or portfolios.
Why choose PRINCE2 P3M3?
Globally recognized method
In the 20+ years since its inception, PRINCE2 P3M3 has earned the trust of governments, non-profits, and organizations worldwide. Leverage this recognized tool to objectively benchmark your maturity level.
Flexible and scalable
PRINCE2 P3M3 is a flexible solution that scales to your needs. It allows you to assess all three areas - portfolio, programme and project management - or any combination of these, regardless of existing approaches used, as it is designed to be framework agnostic.

What our customers say

Delivering projects is not just about execution but also about realizing benefits and doing what’s necessary to enhance those benefits. The PRINCE2 P3M3 assessment has built a culture in the PMO team that encourages members to look for gaps in the system and make necessary improvements; this is a language I’m glad to see in our PMO.

PRINCE2 P3M3 gives an independent perspective about whether we are doing the right things and in the right way. Together with the Management of Portfolios (MoP) best practice, it provides a very structured way to define what is needed in complex environments such as the governmental landscape and breaks down the work needed to improve and step up to a higher level of portfolio management maturity.

The structure and methodology of the P3M3 assessment was extremely constructive. The real value of the P3M3 model was that together we were able to sequence and prioritise relevant improvement efforts to gain immediate and tangible benefits, which then built the necessary momentum and support needed to tackle some of the more challenging findings.
