Practical PMO Maturity Scorecard

Prove your PMO's value, and know exactly what to fix next.

A PMO that can't show its value is the first thing cut when budgets tighten. And a PMO that tries to fix everything at once usually fixes nothing.

This assessment gives you an evidence-based view of where your PMO stands today, where it needs to be for its mandate, and a prioritised roadmap to close the gap that executives can understand and support.

Who it's for

•    New Heads of PMO in their first 90 days

•    PMO leads re-chartering the PMO or building a case for investment

•    Leaders responding to audit findings or governance gaps

•    Consultants running PMO reviews

What it does for you

•    54 criteria across nine dimensions. Mandate and positioning, governance, portfolio management, methods, reporting, resources, benefits, people, and tools.

•    Targets that fit your mandate. Set a target level and a weighting for each dimension, so the PMO is measured against what it is actually for.

•    Consistent scoring. A five-level maturity scale from Initial to Optimising, with descriptors for every dimension.

•    A dashboard executives will read. Weighted overall score, radar and bar charts, and your top three gaps.

•    From findings to action. An improvement plan with owners, target dates and overdue flags.

•    A complete method. A Word guide covering how to run the assessment, interview questions, an evidence checklist and a ready-to-use report template.
