Programme maturity assessment
The programme maturity assessment (PMA) assesses the delivery capability of a portfolio or programme and creates actionable recommendations, specific to the business context. Using PwC’s 12 elements of delivery excellence, the maturity and effectiveness of organisation’s programme management, governance, delivery and controls can be assessed and actions recommended to enhance the likelihood of success.
The PMA allows clients to understand strengths and weaknesses in areas that can include:
- Why recent portfolios or programmes have failed to deliver outcomes and benefits
- Weaknesses in the definition of scope and change control related to alignment with the organisation’s strategy
- Inconsistency and a lack of standardised approach to the delivery
- Inconsistent reporting and management information and resulting in sub-optimal decision-making
- Current capability to achieve the strategy is not understood
- Overly ambitious strategies resulting in stakeholder dissatisfaction
- Limited oversight of interdependencies and synergies across programmes
