Abstract
In this paper, project management maturity model (ProMMM) has been used to evaluate the effectiveness of project management and to determine the maturity level of organization. The aim of this paper is to show the relationship between each four factors of culture, process, work experience and application of ProMMM and effectiveness of project management (EPM). Also, the influence of demographic characteristics is investigated. On the basis of a structured questionnaire distributed among 72 members of projects in one branch of a big project organization located in Tehran/ Iran, the success factors of an effective project management are analyzed. As a result, most team members agreed on establishing a systematic project management by informing the benefits of project management to managers and employees, attracting support of top managers, improving project team members’ skills, building formal project management processes and dedicating required human and material resources to project teams. Future research should include large-scale surveys to systematically analyze the causalities of successful project management in different types of projects, organizations, and industries. Further research could help extracting other effective factors influencing the effectiveness of project management.
