It happens to people who know exactly what ...

It builds on maturity level assessment guidelines found in the CMMI (Capability Maturity Model Integration) model from Carnegie Mellon University, and the P3M3 (Portfolio, Program, and Project Management Maturity Model) from Axelos Limited.

There is no team, but a jungle, an "every man for himself." When trust is destroyed, everything goes to hell. ...
