Are these practices making a difference? According to survey respondents, organizational project management maturity is improving (Figure 2). Twenty percent describe their organizations as having “high” overall project management maturity, up from 11% in 2006. Perhaps not surprisingly, larger firms tend to report higher maturity levels. Nearly 30% of firms with at least US$1 billion in annual revenues report a high maturity level compared to just 10% of those with annual revenues under US$50 million. Certain industries also are more likely to report high maturity; retail, consulting, aerospace, IT and telecommunications are among the highest. Further analysis shows that.
