At which maturity level are project management processes considered organizational standards?

The maturity level where project management processes are considered organizational standards is "Managed." At this level, organizations have established and documented processes that are used consistently across projects. These processes are not only followed but also monitored and controlled to ensure quality and efficiency. The "Managed" level signifies that an organization has reached a certain degree of capability in project management, allowing for predictable results and a systematic approach to managing projects.

In contrast, the other maturity levels represent different degrees of process implementation. For example, "Ad Hoc" refers to an initial stage where processes are not standardized or consistently followed, and projects are managed in an unstructured way. "Integrated" typically involves coordinating processes across different projects and programs, while "Sustained" refers to a maturity level where best practices are continuously evaluated and refined. However, it is at the "Managed" level that processes are firmly recognized as standards within the organization.
