PMI Exam PMO-CP Topic 1 Question 4 Discussion

Organizational maturity in project management and PMO maturity are distinct but complementary concepts. Organizational maturity refers to the overall capability of the organization to manage projects effectively and efficiently, including how well it adopts project management best practices across the entire organization. PMO maturity, on the other hand, refers specifically to the maturity of the PMO in performing its functions, supporting projects, and providing governance.

While these concepts are related, they are not the same, and an organization can have a mature PMO without being fully mature in overall project management practices, or vice versa. Both are necessary to optimize project outcomes and contribute to organizational success.
