Overview: More demanding software development projects require different levels of project management expertise. This paper outlines existing maturity models of project management and their underlying constructs. Two alternative constructs, one process based and the other systems theory based, are described and discussed in relation to project management. Organizations involved in software development in Sydney, Australia were interviewed about their project management practices and their responses analysed to determine whether different project managers used different levels of project management practices and whether the practices better fit a process based maturity model or a systems theory based maturity model. The conclusion, that a system theory based maturity model better correlated with organizational size and software development maturity, is briefly discussed and further research is suggested that could investigate this conclusion.
