clude all the resources needed for reaching incomes (Level 3). Par-
tially, the organisation is connected to project management from
the top level of management to the lowest level, where leaders are
role models, proactive project management is promoted and thus
encouraged in the organisation (Level 4). Partly the organisation is
committed to project management from the top down, where the
leaders are an example, and the proactive management of projects
is awarded and encouraged by the organisation.
• The average assessment of processes is 3.42 points. This means
that generic processes in an organisation are applied in many or all
projects. Formal processes are related to the same quality system.
Active allocation and managing the budget of projects takes place
at all levels. The need for outsourced support is also mentioned.
• The average assessment of experiences is 2.42 points. This means
that individuals who have a little or no formal experience with
project management are a limitation for an organisation.
• The average assessment of application is 3.00 points. This means
that the organisation is routinely and consistently using them in
all projects and allocates the resources for them. It also has an in-
tegrated group of tools and methods.
The overall average assessment for Prom m m is 3.08 points, which
tells us that on average we can classify the interviewed organisations as
3 level. This represents a ‘Normalised’ organisation of project manage-
ment.
Conclusion
Organisations are increasingly acknowledging the usage of project
management as one of the crucial advantages in business. Awareness
of implementing the approaches of project management is a successful
path for doing business for organisations.
Based on our research, we have find out the level of maturity of
project management in Slovenian companies. We have come to the con-
