An organization’s performance in a project is determined by its ability
to implement project management knowledge and practices. This ability
reflects the organization’s level of project management maturity (PMM).
PMM is premised on the belief that the higher the PMM level, the higher
the ability to successfully deliver a project. With this in mind, the
current paper aims to determine the type of organizational aspects and
practices that could influence the success of PMM implementation in
organizations. For this purpose, a systematic literature review (SLR)
was performed on 23 articles published between 2011 and 2021 that
studied PMM. The findings showed that most articles stressed
organizational culture and integration with strategic organizational
initiatives. Among all the studied industries, the information
technology industry stood out. Content analysis was used for analyzing
data, which were thematized using ATLAS.ti. Ten sub-themes emerged, with
six sub-themes under organizational aspects and four sub-themes under
organizational practices. These sub-themes, which were intertwined with
the implementation and growth of PMM in organizations, positively impact
project delivery performance. Based on this, several future research
opportunities were proposed.
