Tools & Techniques

Risk Potential Assessment (RPA)

The RPA is the first step in the OGC Gateway process. It provides a standard set of high-level criteria for assessing the degree of complexity of a proposed acquisition based programme/project.

Portfolio, Programme and Project Management Maturity Model (P3M3).

When you need a thorough examination of your organisation's capability to manage portfolios of programmes and projects, you should use the P3M3. It has a similar approach to maturity as the well-recognised Carnegie-Melon Maturity Model (CMMM) and is based on OGC's existing portfolio, programme and project management best practice. This is not a simple self-service model and requires the expertise of experienced portfolio and programme management practitioners to yield the best results.

PRINCE2 Maturity Model

The purpose of the PRINCE2 Maturity Model is to enable organisations to gauge, by assessment, their maturity in the use of the PRINCE2 project management method. The model can also be used to:

  • understand the key practices that are part of an effective organisational process to manage projects
  • identify the key practices that need to be embedded within the organisation to achieve the next level of maturity
  • understand the rationale behind the assessment questionnaire.
