Product Management Maturity

Maturity survey

  • The idea of the product management maturity model is to describe, how a company and its management team can develop and extend the capabilities of products management in order to perform better.
  • The origin of the model lies in the idea of phases or stages, which a company usually goes through as it adapts to new cultural issues, processes, management practices, business concepts, and modes of operation.
  • These stages represent the organizational growth, learning, and development that occur as new methods are implemented in large corporations.
