Figure 5.3 Pro mmm Questionnaire Results
Figure 5.3 shows the Prommm questionnaire results. From the graph,
it can clearly be seen that companies on average (Hillson 2001):
• Claim that project management is welcomed and significantly con-
tributes to the business success of an organisation. The average as-
sessment is 3.83 points.
• Claim that the organisation has a consistent management policy
in relation to the commitment to proactive and systematic project
management. The average assessment is 3.17 points.
• Claim that the formal processes of project management in an or-
ganisation are adaptable to the business requirements. The average
assessment is 3.67 points.
• Claim that the processes of project management in an organisa-
tion are stable and mature. The average assessment is 3.17 points.
• Claim that employees have a basic understanding of the core prin-
ciples of project management. Partly, there are signs of a funda-
mental understanding. The average assessment is 2.50 points.
• Claim that employees have a basic knowledge of the standardised
techniques from the practical perspective of using techniques of
project management. The average assessment is 2.33 points.
• They routinely use processes of project management in all projects.
The average assessment is 3.00 points.

into four groups: culture, processes, experiences and application. From
figure 5.4, it can clearly be seen that (Hillson 2001):
• The average assessment of the culture is 3.50 points. This means
that the organisation has an approved system of project manage-
ment, recognises and expects benefits from it and is ready to in-
