Abstract
This paper proposes the development of a project management process assessment framework (PMSPICE). The paper describes three stages for the construction of the proposed PMSPICE process models. PMSPICE will include a process reference model (PRM), a process assessment model (PAM) and an organizational maturity model (OMM). The PMSPICE PRM is based on the project management processes defined in the ISO 21500 standard. The PMSPICE PAM will be used to perform ISO/IEC 15504 conformant assessments of the project management process capability in accordance with the requirements of ISO/IEC 15504-2. The processes also support compliance with OMM established in ISO/IEC TR 15504-7.
