A Maturity Model for Large and Complex Programs/Projects Management

In this paper, the features of the national key science and technology programs of China are analyzed. The related management maturity models studied abroad are also introduced. The weights of each management factor in the execution process of the national key science and technology programs are calculated through the combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process and Entropy Method. Therefore, a management maturity model which can be suitable to the national key science and technology programs of China is proposed. China High resolution Earth Observation System (CHEOS), which is one of 16 national key science and technology programs of China, is selected as a study case. By utilizing Fuzzy Comprehensive Evaluation (FCE), the management maturity level of CHEOS is assessed. The assessment result can provide an aid to the decision-making of the CHEOS management. Furthermore, a new management method for the national key science and technology programs of China is advanced.
