Following the success of Capability Maturity Model for Software, Carnegie Mellon University developed the People Capability Maturity Model (People CMM or P-CMM). The People CMM is based on best practices—in areas such as human resources, knowledge management, and organizational development—for managing and developing an organization’s workforce.
The People CMM helps organizations characterize the maturity of their workforce practices, establish a program of continuous workforce development, set priorities for improvement actions, integrate workforce development with process improvement, and establish a culture of excellence. Utilizing the P-CMM framework, an organization can avoid introducing workforce practices that its employees are unprepared to implement effectively.
Similar to the CMM and CMMI, the P-CMM entails five evolutionary levels of maturity (or stages) corresponding to the way organizations manage their human resource. The five maturity levels establish successive foundations for continuously improving individual competencies, developing effective teams, motivating improved performance, and shaping the workforce an organization needs to accomplish its business plans.
Additional topics discussed in this presentation include, P-CMM Overview, 10 Principles of People CMM, 5 Stages of People Capability Maturity Model, a detailed synopsis of each of the 5 maturity stages, and more.
This deck also includes some slide templates for you to use in your own business presentations.
This presentation delves into the 10 guiding principles that underpin the People CMM, emphasizing the direct relationship between workforce capability and business performance. It offers a comprehensive breakdown of the five maturity stages, each with distinct characteristics and key process areas. From the initial stage, where work practices are inconsistent, to the optimizing stage, where continuous improvement is driven by quantitative data, this deck provides actionable insights. Templates included can be customized for your own strategic initiatives, making it a practical tool for driving workforce excellence.

This PPT slide outlines the third stage of the People Capability Maturity Model (P-CMM), emphasizing the importance of identifying and integrating best practices within an organization. At this maturity level, organizations are expected to document these practices and create a common process that enhances operational efficiency. The overview highlights that critical practices are defined and stored in a repository for further analysis, indicating a structured approach to workforce management.
The slide lists several key process areas essential for achieving this maturity stage. Competency Analysis focuses on identifying the knowledge and skills required for business activities, establishing a foundation for effective workforce practices. Workforce Planning aims to align workforce activities with current and future business needs, ensuring that human resources are effectively utilized. Competency Development is about consistently enhancing the workforce's capabilities to meet assigned tasks.
Career Development ensures that individuals are supported in acquiring competencies that align with their career goals, fostering employee growth. Competency-based Practices emphasize the need for all workforce practices to contribute to developing competencies, reinforcing a culture of continuous improvement. Workgroup Development organizes tasks around competency-based processes, enhancing collaboration and efficiency.
Finally, the Participatory Culture aspect highlights the importance of involving the workforce in decision-making processes, which can significantly impact business performance. This stage is crucial for organizations aiming to establish a robust framework for workforce management, ultimately driving performance and effectiveness.
