The Five-Level Structure of Maturation In project management, the maturity of the organization’s project management capabilities is related to its expertise at thorough documentation. Level 1 At this level, the organization recognizes the importance of project management, emphasizing a common language and terminology. Level 2 At this level, the organization has clearly defined processes, such that success on one project can easily be replicated in subsequent projects. Level 3 At this level, all corporate methodologies are combined into one, that is, of project management. Synergies across organizational units are stressed and sought through commonality of processes. Level 4 At this level, benchmarking is stressed towards the goal of maintaining a competitive advantage. Level 5 At this level, the information gathered in the earlier levels is used on an ongoing basis to achieve continuous improvement.
