. The Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI) is a simple model to describe the evolution of the Project Management Office (PMO)s roles. Figure 4 defines a series of evolution stages for a PMO in an organization. Each stage suggests a particular level of functional capability that the PMO will have achieved if functions are fully implemented. In relation to project maturity, provide a comparative analysis across Strategic Management and Operational Management specifying the key differences necessary to establish and maintain project governance in the context of creating reliable environments, where products, services and departments are proactive, efficient and productive.

Level 5 Process performance continually improved through incremental and innovative Optimizing technological improvements. Level 4 Quantitatively Processes are controlled using Managed statistical and other quantitative techniques. Level 3 Processes are well characterized and understood. Processes, standards, Defined procedures, tools, etc. are defined at the Level 2 organizational (Organization X ) level. Proactive. Managed Processes are planned, documented, performed, monitored, and controlled at the project level. Often Level 1 reactive. Process Maturity Initial Processes are unpredictable, poorly controlled, reactive. Figure 4 - Capability Maturity Model Integration (CMMI)
