Appendix D
OPM3 Self-Assessment
The OPM3 Self-Assessment is introduced and explained in Section 6.3.2.
Its purpose is to permit organizations to assess their current state of matu-
rity in organizational project management in relation to the set of Best Prac-
tices that comprise the OPM3 Standard. The results of the Self-Assessment
will tell an organization where it stands on a general continuum of orga-
nizational project management maturity, viewed overall, and in terms of
maturity within the domains and the process improvement stages. It will
produce a list of Best Practices the organization currently appears to demon-
strate, and a list of those it appears not to demonstrate, according to the
responses given to the survey. The organization should then proceed to
examine any of these Best Practices more closely using the Directories and
the Comprehensive Assessment outlined in Chapter 6.
The self-assessment questions are included in this appendix. The actual
Self-Assessment tool exists as a separate database application (containing
complete instructions for use), which needs to be used for full functionality.
