A Project Management Maturity Model helps organizations measure and mature their practices in project, program and portfolio management, through the definition of knowledge improvements in their processes. In Mexico, there are states with higher growth in the development of new projects, as has been seen in the last 20 years in the state of Baja California Norte. The national observatory reported that “the population of professionals in the state reached 305,374 people”(SNE, 2020). Therefore, it is intended to know if this sector of the population knows or applies any maturity model in their work.Therefore, a new maturity model is proposed that combines the strengths of the best-known models in the literature and proposes a plan of strategic actions aimed at maturity. The level of maturity of project management and individual, group and institutional competencies of this population in the state was analyzed by means of a multidimensional survey. To check its validity, exploratory factor analysis was applied. Knowledge in project management processes was found to have maturity level 3. However, the mission, vision and institutional competencies barely reached a level 2. Which suggests that the BajaCalifornian managements should work on these aspects. The new culture proposes an action plan that aligns with the strategies and fosters maturity in any organization
