How to increase project profitability

New paper by Archibald, Neto and Prado draws on results of PPPM Maturity Research in Brazil

15 October 2014 – Dallas, TX, USA – According to the authors in this new paper added to the PM World Collection in October, “The objective of this paper is to present an approach to increase project profitability using maturity concepts. The basis for the paper is the data obtained in recent maturity researches held in Brazil using the Prado PM Maturity Model.

This research quantitatively proved that:

  • There is a direct positive relationship between total project success and the organization’s level of project management maturity.
  • There is an inverse relationship between project failure and PM maturity.
  • There is an inverse relationship between project delay and PM maturity; the higher the maturity, the lesser the delay.
  • There is an inverse relationship between cost overrun and PM Maturity; the higher the maturity, the lower the cost overrun.

Then, the paper shows how an organization can use such data to increase the profitability of their projects.
