Abstract

As businesses become increasingly ‘projected,’ the relationship between project management maturity and project success will likely grow more significantly. However, there is no unanimity regarding this relationship. This article examines the association between levels of project management maturity and project success. A structured online questionnaire was distributed using purposeful sampling, and it was decided to end the study when 600 replies were collected for economic considerations. Using descriptive statistics and the Kruskal-Wallis test, the hypothesis that higher levels of project management maturity improve the likelihood of project success was examined. The perceived project success of 9,389 projects and the project management maturity of the participating organizations were analyzed, and the results validated the theory. This research contributes to the little literature on the connection between project management maturity and project success
