The Development of a Roadmap for Project Management Framework and Processes

In recent years, competitive environments require organisations to have a plan looking at the future. Project-based organisations are no exception to this rule and need an effective project management (PM) plan. They need a bespoke frameworks and processes to guarantee successful projects. Nowadays, some organizations have a wrong perspective on using PM frameworks. They just use PM framework, which are available in market, without any tailoring and plan. They need to have a plan not only to customize PM frameworks and processes but also to make an integration between different parts of an organization. An effective Project Management Roadmap (PMR) can enable organizations to overcome this issue. It creates a forward-looking map to improve PM processes to get more value from investments in portfolios of projects. This paper proposes a useful model to help organizations develop their PMR. This model considers internal and external environmental factors, PM frameworks and processes, potential portfolios of projects, and organization infrastructures as main layers to develop a bespoke PMR for organizations. It makes an integration between all parts of an organization and shows its future PMR as well.
