and appropriate is that of the Capability Maturity Model (CMM, which has five main stages these can be utilised when proposing a project maturity model that has the aim of
improving IT project management processes and systems. If we consider the high level of failure in software development projects the need for management
control and an understanding of what goes on at each stage is essential to attain success (Jiang et al, 2004). The Capability Maturity Model (CMM is a development model that
was first developed at Carnegie-Mellon Universitys Software Engineering Institute (Crow, 2005). The model describes the five stages of development in the evolution or maturity process and looks at the capabilities
of the company as well in the product development. This is a pathway to guide the users from the initial stage where there is only an idea with no structure,
to the developed and mature process that is seen at the end of the path (Crow, 2005). To examine this we can look at the five stages; the initial level,
the repeatable level, the defined level, the managed level and the optimised level (Crow, 2005). The initial level is the immature stage where development is ad hoc. This stage
is one with little organisational support and reflects the organisation understanding of this new product and as such management systems are not geared to coping with the product development yet
(Crow, 2005). This stage can also be extended where there is a firm that has little development experience. This is also a stage where there is inherent unpredictability, the
process may be continually changing and the development can be unstable. Where different products are being developed these may all be progressing at different rates with an over reliance on
