This paper extends the concept of organizational project management maturity to the national context. Based on a review of the extant literature and a thorough analysis of existing organizational maturity models, it develops a systematic framework of national project management maturity and the national project management maturity model (NPM3), by defining maturity levels, identifying key maturity perspectives and drivers, and discussing key performance indicators that may be used to assess and compare national project management maturity. Practical implications, limitations, and the need for further research are discussed.
