This chapter deals with the need of analyze the course of project management processes with the help of maturity models. These models enable corporate plants finding out the level on what they plan and carry out projects, and they also help to retain or increase this level. Moreover, they offer plants the possibility of comparing their level of project use and project management to those of other plants, and thus enable plant finding out whether they are competitive enough in particular field. The methodology for improving the maturity of project management in industrial enterprises in the Slovak Republic will be described in the chapter. The individual maturity levels of enterprises in project management will also be characterized. By the setting of the criteria for transition to a higher maturity level, a large area of project management will be divided into smaller units, which is important in order to identify the areas of the project management where the specific industrial enterprise is behind and in which areas its results are positive.

Project Management Processes

Introduction. Analysis of existing foreign and Russian project management maturity models revealed the absence of tools for assessing the maturity of project management, which would take into account the specifics of the functioning of engineering companies and the implementation of engineering projects. The uniformity of such models limits the list of evaluated aspects of project management, which does not allow to fully cover the project management processes operating in engineering companies. Such processes should include engineering, management of intangible assets, control and acceptance of the results of engineering works, management of construction and installation works, and so on. To solve the problem, it is necessary to develop special tools for the assessment and development of project management, which will take into account engineering-specific processes. The toolkit will allow to quantify the degree of implementation of the project approach to the activities of an engineering company and to plan the continuous improvement of the processes and tools of project management in it. The subject of the research is the development of tools for assessing and developing project-oriented management in a full-cycle engineering company. Materials and methods. Applied the method of comparative analysis, survey method and method of semi-structured interviews. Results. The article formulates the features of project management in engineering companies. The main types of maturity models of project management are considered, their distinctive features are revealed. Tools for the evaluation and development of project management for the Russian engineering company full cycle are formulated. The assessment of the levels of formalization of project management processes was carried out, their current and target states were determined. Set of measures for the development of processes and tools of project management is planned. Conclusions. The toolkit for project management evaluation and development proposed in the article allows to carry out structural analysis of project management processes and the level of their formalization, to implement improvements based on the results of evaluation not only in the engineering company under consideration, but also in project-oriented organizations implementing similar projects.

Companies try to use better techniques to deal with complex projects. The maturity of companies to apply these better techniques can guarantee project success or not. The environment, where the engineering and construction project is developed, also has influence over the success. The maturity of a company's project management processes is also a factor of success. This chapter aims to talk about concepts related to engineering and construction initiatives.

This article aims to provide the reader with a comprehensive background for understanding current knowledge and research works on ontologies for software project management (SPM). It constitutes a systematic literature review behind key objectives of the potential adoption of ontologies in PM. Ontology development and engineering could facilitate substantially the software development process and improve knowledge management, software and artifacts reusability, internal consistency within project management processes of various phases of software life cycle. The authors examined the literature focusing on software project management ontologies and analyzed the findings of these published papers and categorized them accordingly. They used qualitative methods to evaluate and interpret findings of the collected studies. The literature review, among others, has highlighted lack of standardization in terminology and concepts, lack of systematic domain modeling and use of ontologies mainly in prototype ontology systems that address rather limited aspects of software project management processes.
