Project Management Maturity Model By Kent Crawford

The maturity framework I chose to research is the Project Management Maturity Model by Kent Crawford. This model is a structured framework similar to the one in our book. The framework is made of up 5 levels but also has 6 components in which these levels are listed.

The IHA still owes the Vavilov Research Institute (VIR) of Russia US$ 5,000 for its work with the 1995 Cannabis seed reproductions. The 1996 project will require about US$ 20,000 and we must have funding organized by early Spring. We are extremely concerned about our ability to finance the VIR project in its fourth and final year. A grant support application for the VIR project has been made, but
