2. Time estimate and 
funds inadequate for the 
scope of this project; 
may be late and over 
budget. 
3. Lack of skilled staff, 
organization slow to hire 
adequate staff; may 
delay implementation. 
1. Lack of commitment. 
Headquarters may have to 
assume more responsibility; 
will result in project delay, 
cost overruns. 
6. Cannot get office space 
for staff; may cause 
communication problems, 
delaying the execution 
phase. 
5. Expecting major scope 
changes from clients; 
may cause delay and 
cost escalation. 
4. Not enough time spent 
planning, lack of 
understanding of problem; 
may take longer/ 
cost more than anticipated.

Tools: Critical Path Method (CPM) 
• The critical path are the tasks that have the longest 
path. 
• Tasks are performed in parallel or one task is 
completed before the next one can begin. 
• This graph shows why if one task is not completed on 
time can impact or cause delays to the schedule. Could 
cause a major problem to the outcome of the project.
Tools: Critical Path Method (CPM) 
This diagram shows six tasks in the project schedule. Tasks A, C, and F 
are on the critical path, which means if one of these tasks takes longer 
than expected, the project will not meet the deadline.

Organizational Project Management 
Maturity Model 
• Organizational Project Management Maturity Model 
(OPM3®) helps organizations understand their project 
management processes, ensures that their projects are tied to 
the organization's larger strategy, and measures and guides 
their capabilities for improvement.
OPM3 Elements
Best Practices: What the Winners Do* 
• Recent research findings show that companies that excel in 
project delivery capability: 
– Build an integrated project management toolbox (use 
standard/advanced PM tools, lots of templates) 
– Grow competent project leaders, emphasizing business and 
soft skills 
– Develop streamlined, consistent project delivery processes 
– Install a sound but comprehensive set of project 
performance metrics 
*Milosevic, Dragan, Portland State University, “Delivering Projects: 
What the Winners Do,” PMI Conference Proceedings, November 2001
Findings From 5-Year Study on Quantifying 
the Value of PM* 
1. Companies with more mature project management practices 
have better project performance (on time and budget vs. 40% 
over time and 20% over cost targets) 
2. Project management maturity is strongly correlated with more 
predictable project schedule and cost performance (i.e. .08 
schedule performance index variation vs. .16) 
3. Good project management companies have lower direct costs 
than poor project management companies (6-7% vs. 11-20%) 
*Ibbs, William and Justin Reginato, Quantifying the Value of Project 
Management (2002)
PM ROI Example* 
• Company initially has PMM of 2.3, CPI of .71, profit margin of 5% , 
$10 M projected annual revenues 
• Company improves PMM to 3.1, CPI to .94, profit margin to 6.6% at 
a cost of $400,000 
• PM ROI = (6.6%-5.0%)X$10,000,000 = 40% 
$400,000
