- Description
- The level of maturity in project management systems within South African universities is low. The low maturity affects project success. Organisational Project Management Maturity Model (OPM3®) – Third Edition (2013). The study is aimed at investigating and finding solutions to the perceived factors that affect Project Management Maturity at Universities’ infrastructure departments. The literature review indicates that organisations benefit from achieving organisational Project Management Maturity when projects are tied to business strategy and support business goals as opposed to when they are executed randomly (OPM3)- Third Edition (2013). A quantitative method was used to collect and analyse data. One questionnaire was put together and distributed to the targeted receipts, i.e., personnel working at infrastructure departments at South African universities, a web-based questionnaire was used to gather the data. A total of 56 responses were received to analyse the data. The stakeholders that responded were: project managers, portfolio managers, project coordinators, administrators and engineer. The study found that PMBoK and planning are factors that have an impact on Project Maturity. Recommendations were that all personnel implementing projects for University Infrastructure should be trained in earned Value Management to ensure that their PMBoK knowledge is enhanced. Other training that is recommended includes Integration Management, Scope Management, Quality Management, Risk Management, Time Management, Resource Management, Procurement Management, Cost Management and Stakeholder Management.
