Strategic Planning for Project Management Using a Project Management Maturity Model (eBook)

"It has often been said that 'to improve, one must be prepared to
measure the improvement' and 'one must inspect what one expects.'
The Kerzner Project Management Maturity Model has provided this
tangible measure of maturity. The rest is up to a company to set
the expectations and to inspect the results."--Bill Marshall,
Nortel Global Project Process Standards (from the Foreword)

Strategic planning for project management-a proven model for
assessment and continuous improvement

Harold Kerzner's landmark Project Management has long been the
reference of choice for outstanding coverage of the basic
principles and concepts of project management. Now, with the
Project Management Maturity Model (PMMM) detailed in this new book,
Kerzner has developed a unique, industry-validated tool for helping
companies assess their progress in integrating project management
throughout their organization.

Strategic Planning for Project Management Using a Project
Management Maturity Model begins by examining the principles of
strategic planning and how they relate to project management. The
second part of the book introduces the PMMM, detailing the five
different levels of development for achieving maturity, along with
benchmarking instruments for measuring an organization's progress
along the maturity curve. These assessment tools can easily be
customized to suit individual companies-a particularly valuable
feature of the model.

Offering vital guidance for making project management a strategic
tool for competitive advantage, this book helps managers,
engineers, project team members, business consultants, and others
build a powerful foundation for company improvement and excellence.
