MODELING OF MATURITY OF GENDER-ORIENTED PROJECT MANAGEMENT
OFFICE
1. Introduction
Currently, gender components are becoming more defined in the implemented practices of project and program management. The United Nations (UN) pays special attention to gender issues in sustainable development strategies. It is noteworthy that gender approaches in Sustainable Development Goals 2030 [1] are considered in a cross-sectoral dimension and they are an integral part of the initiation, planning, implementation, monitoring and evaluation of projects and programs.
The importance of a gender perspective for managing sustainable development programs, both at the national and local levels actualizes the issues of improving existing management systems. This is also evidenced by the corresponding structural and organizational changes in the sustainable development program and project management at the UN level. The special organization was created in the UN structure (UN Women). The functioning of such a management structure should correspond to the international standards of program and project management on the one hand [2-6], and, on the other hand, the appropriate level of integration of gender knowledge as a contextual platform for program activities. However, the current level of UN Women's program activities is not successful enough, as evidenced by the annual "gender status of countries" in the global ranking (Gender Global Gap Index, GGGI) [7-8]. There is a tendency not to decrease, but to increase gender gaps between
countries. And this updates the issue of organizing more effective management of existing resources for national gender equality programs. In such a situation, scientific and practical developments to assess the maturity of gender-oriented project management at the project office level are becoming extremely valuable.
2. Literature review and problem statement
The PMO models developed through integration of a plurality of organizational and technical parameters of management systems constitute the theoretical and methodological foundations of this research. Seven types of PMO that can be organized at the company, department, and others are presented in the paper [9]. Researchers analyzed the potential of the PMO in terms of its contribution to the effective functioning of organizations [10] and the implementation of national programs [11]. The paper [12] presents the role of PMO in relation to project portfolio management, as well as ways to reduce organizational and managerial gaps between the formulation and implementation of the strategy. Generally, it is possible to note the tendency towards the development of conceptual models of PMO organization from technical, where IT technologies are preferred, to so-cio-technical ones, where a special role is given to human resource management and development of social capital in the project environment. Some research works are de-

voted to such a social component of project management as gender. The gender analysis of the project management guidelines (PMBoK) was carried out in the paper [13], and the discourse of masculine and feminine logical systems was proposed. It is defined that gender logical systems define two groups of skills (soft and hard skills). It is assumed that experts in project management of both biological sexes, which have well-developed skills as masculine and feminine logic systems, are able to form a more flexible and gender-sensitive project management. It is noted that gender-sensitive practices of project management are especially important for complex projects aimed at a wide range of stakeholder groups (for example, urban projects [14]). Evaluations of project management systems of certain spheres are developed from a gender point of view. It is proved that the masculine logical system dominates in the management of construction projects [15]. It should also be noted that modern researchers carry out scientific and practical exploration of diversity and equality management systems. The law is substantiated: the high level of gender diversity of the top managers' team leads to greater productivity of the human resources management system [16]. The interdependence of the processes of "involving women in project teams" and "developing social capital in the project environment" is highlighted [17]. Solutions to outline the role of gender specialist/manager (Gender Focal Point) in the project team organizational structure are proposed [18]. Also, the basic principles for modeling the gender-oriented project management office are developed ("supportive G-PMO", " controlling G-PMO", "directive G-PMO").
A special epistemological problem is a measurement of a gender-oriented project and program management office maturity. Currently, gender-sensitive approaches to the assessment of the technological maturity of project management are investigated [19]. The basic model of gender mainstreaming approach implementation in the project cycle (initiation, planning, execution, monitoring and evaluation, completion) is proposed. Also, project and program management systems are analyzed in accordance with the global principles of gender equality in business (Gender Equality Principles, GEP)
[20]. The influence of gender components on the level of organizational maturity of project management of companies is highlighted. The evaluation model of gender maturity of the organization on the platform of the Project Management Maturity Model (PMMM) is proposed. However, gender PMO frameworks, taking into account the concept of maturity, are not represented by thorough research.
3. The aim and objectives of the study
The aim of the research is the development of a solution for maturity assessment of the gender-oriented project and program management office based on the project management maturity methodological platform.
To achieve this aim, it is proposed to accomplish the following objectives:
- to integrate the gender component into the contextual parameters of the project management knowledge areas [2];
- to offer an evaluation tool for determining the maturity level of the gender-oriented project and program management office using the basic maturity model of the Project Management Office [21].
4. Developing a model to evaluate the gender-oriented project management office maturity
The author's approach is based on an attempt to assess the level of integration of gender contexts into the architecture of a gender-oriented project management office organizational system (PMOG) [21]. To this end, the gender characteristics in ten project management knowledge areas: integration management, scope management, time management, cost management, quality management, human resource management, communications management, risk management, procurement management, and stakeholder management are identified [2]. The matrix of gender-sensitive parameters for maturity evaluation of PMOG is presented in Table 1.
Table 1
PMOG Maturity-Level Evaluation
Project Management Knowledge Areas PMOG maturity characteristics
1 2
Level I - Definition of goals and objectives of PMOG
Integration Management The gender-oriented terminology of project management is not standardized. Gender methods are not integrated into the project activity.
Scope Management Clear categorical apparatus of gender content does not exist in meaningful project elements.
Time Management Project team members perform individual project activities without taking into account the gender-sensitive features of the managers' schedules. Projects start and end with a delay.
Cost Management Gender costs for project work are not evaluated and not tracked. The project manager does not request gender-segregated project reporting.
Quality Management Project implementers do not know the gender requirements of the beneficiaries.
Human Resource Management A search of resources begins after the beginning of work. The requirements for job candidates contain a discriminatory context (for example, "requirements for a candidate: a woman, under 30 years"). Project managers and resource managers demonstrate "gender blindness".
Communications Management Project teams do not use gender terminology; their communication is gender-intolerant. Standardized gender-sensitive reporting on the status of projects is not being conducted.
1 2
Risk Management Risks are analyzed informally. Gender discrimination, gender blindness are not recognized as significant project risks.
Procurement Management Suppliers and contractors are not considered to be members of the project team. The tender procedure is gender neutral.
Stakeholder Management There is no perception of gender specifics, inclusiveness of the interested parties.
Level II - Organization of PMOG
Integration Management Project management includes reporting, which contains not only the main project indicators but also gender-segregated data. Identification of gender needs allows forming gender-sensitive content, gender-fair budget. The level of satisfaction and trust of the project beneficiaries is increasing.
Scope Management The technical task, which determines the parameters of the content of the project, is developed by one of the heads of the functional unit. Gender requirements are poorly formulated and presented in the work breakdown structure (WBS).
Time Management Most projects are delayed. Weak /insufficient monitoring of the "critical path". Gender barriers are not taken into account.
Cost Management Methods and tools for gender budgeting are used to formulate/develop a project budget. The project budget contains "gender budget inserts". Financial calculations contain units of measurement: "number of persons, including women and men"; "cost, including per one woman and one man", etc.
Quality Management PMOG has an infrastructure to help implementers to identify inclusive gender requirements of beneficiaries.
Human Resource Management The search for resources is carried out before the work is started. The project team is formed on the principles of gender balance. Project managers and resource managers support gender-sensitive management (gender-responsive, gender-tolerant).
Communications Management Information on the status of the project contains "gender insertions". Gender-segregated reporting is provided at the request of the management.
Risk Management The main risks were identified, taking into account the diversity of stakeholders for important projects. The forecasting of the behavior of stakeholders is carried out taking into account the inclusiveness of gender requirements.
Procurement Management The tendering procedure includes information on the availability and safety of the route, time, delivery method for a woman or other vulnerable gender group of stakeholders.
Stakeholder Management Identification of all stakeholders is carried out on a gender basis. The inclusiveness of the gender requirements of all stakeholders, including beneficiaries is investigated and determined. Design solutions are developed that meet the requirements of stakeholders.

Communications Management The information / reports on the project must contain a gender component. At the meetings, the project team respects gender tolerance, sensitivity, and participation.
Risk Management Risks related to gender discrimination are quickly detected and opportunities/actions to reduce threats are developed.
Procurement Management Contractor reports on the work performed contain a gender component. Requirements on pre-term and gender-sensitive conditions of delivery of products are put forward.
Stakeholder Management Extension of identification of gender groups of stakeholders to gender + (persons with disabilities, pregnant women, elderly people, etc.). Audit of gender requirements and expectations of all stakeholders. Development of strategies for the best involvement of various gender groups of stakeholders in the project.
Level IV - Development of the organization gender competence

Risk Management Teams of project executors have the competence to prevent risks associated with gender discrimination.
Procurement Management The contracting organizations apply gender-sensitive methods and tools that are consistent with the PMOc's gender strategies.
Stakeholder Management Prevention of the gender-oriented behavior of stakeholders allows PMOG to act proactively. Most of the gender groups of beneficiaries are supporters of the project.
Level VII - Creation of additional, inclusive, gender project values
Integration Management The gender-sensitive criteria for selecting projects are formalized. PMOG coordinates the activities of functional units on the application of a unified methodology of gender-based project, program, portfolio management.
Scope Management Executing teams use gender expertise to meet the requirements of stakeholders in their entirety. Permanent benchmarking of gender mainstreaming practices is carried out.
Time Management The capacity of the project implementers is consistent with the principles of gender parity and equity. Each executor is aware of his planned workload, priority of projects. Gender factors do not affect the delay in project execution.
Cost Management PMOG considers all the costs of implementing projects with a gender perspective. PMOG focuses on reducing gender gaps in project/program outputs/products through the use of gender-focused budgeting.
Quality Management PMOG disseminates the developed gender-sensitive criteria, methods and training programs aimed at removing barriers to successful completion of the project.
Human Resource Management A gender-oriented approach to assessing the work of teams of project executors has been introduced. All employees of the company are looking for gender-sensitive ways to reduce the duration of projects and identify gender threats to successful completion.
Communications Management The intensity of using the gender potential of labor resources in projects and project portfolios is increased. The number of cases of gender-discriminatory use of resources has significantly decreased.
Risk Management In all portfolios of the organization, a gender component is integrated, which allows the prompt introduction of "gender-sensitive insertions, changes" to all interconnected projects and resource support.
Procurement Management Suppliers support the processes of gender-based project planning at the level of the PMOG methodologies and tools.
Stakeholder Management The gender-oriented management of the stakeholders is supported mainly through the use of online services. The gender-sensitive expectations of stakeholders are predicted in the results and products of the projects.
Level VIII - center for the development of gender-oriented project management
Integration Management The mature process of gender-based project management is integrated with all other processes of the organization and is constantly analyzed in terms of opportunities for their improvement. PMOG is responsible for the effective use of gender mainstreaming tools and methodologies in project/program/portfolio management.
Scope Management All the strategic goals of the organization are consistent with the Gender Equality Principles (GEP).
Time Management More than 95 % of projects are completed within the scheduled timeframe, 10 % - ahead of schedule. Gender factors influence the acceleration of project implementation

Quality Management The process of continuous improvement of the organization's work using the methods of gender-based control to identify the most effective ways to increase the value/quality of project products is implemented.
Human Resource Management The intensity of using all resources is stable, gender-sensitive. The organization performs a large number of gender-sensitive projects without the involvement of additional resources.
Communications Management All stakeholders understand and approve gender interrelationships between the project portfolios, the goals, resources, and assets of the organization. Workers actively initiate gender-specific proposals to speed up projects and refine the gender content of the project portfolio.
Risk Management The project portfolio is gender-balanced. The problems of one project do not significantly affect the gender pere formance and value of other projects.
Procurement Management Suppliers, contractors, PMOG use gender-sensitive approaches, procurement procedures in projects and portfolios.
Stakeholder Management The mature process of gender-based management of all stakeholders. The processes of continuous improvement of gender-oriented strategies for stakeholder involvement have been introduced into the life cycle of the project. More than 95 % of projects meet the gender needs of stakeholders, and 10 % - exceed their expectations.
The presented levels of maturity of PMOG show the level of gender responsibility from advisory support to the continuous improvement of gender-oriented project management (Fig. 1).
The question of the functioning of PMOG becomes relevant in cases where the gender component is important, in particular in the municipalities for the implementation of the project activity.

5. Discussion of results of PMOG maturity assessment modeling
The PMOG maturity model allows you to measure the effectiveness of PMOG and select strategies for transforming the system from the level of "gender neutrality" to the level of "gender sensitivity". Determination of PMOG maturity is based on an assessment of the level of gender characteristics inclusion (Table 1). The following rating scale is proposed: "0" —non-compliance with the criterion (no criterion); "1" -compliance with the criterion in full. The objective function describing the PMOG maturity takes the form of (1)-(11):
DPMOg =

Also, a feasibility study of its value for the organization is developed. At this level of maturity, the main role of PMOG is consulting, informational support of the organization's functional units in the application of gender knowledge and approaches, the development of databases with gender-sensitive information, assistance in understanding and operating gender terminology, and mastering of gender knowledge/ approaches by the organization's staff.
Level II - organization of PMOG (global criterion range [0.05;0.28]). PMOG determines how the functional units of the organization use gender approaches for the implementation of project and program management processes. Engineering and re-engineering of the processes of gender-based project management are conducted. The systemic and orderly activity of the PMOG personnel is enhanced, and gender competence is included in job descriptions.
Level III. PMOG: development of methods for effective gender-oriented project management (global criterion range [0.28;0.44]). Functional units use the potential of PMOG to study and develop quality approaches to gender-sensitive project management. At this level of maturity, the basis for the systematic application of gender knowledge for gender-sensitive project and program management is laid.
Level IV. PMOG: development of the organization gender competence (global criterion range [0.44;0.65]). PMOG pays more attention to the proper selection of projects, attraction (participation) of top management to gender-oriented project management. IT tools, online services for gender-sensitive project portfolio management are actively applied. Methods of gender-based management of changes in all portfolio projects are developed, in particular: priorities, tracking the progress of project activities, reporting on all projects.
Level V. Recognition of PMOG effectiveness (global criterion range [0.65;0.83]). Gender instruments (gender planning, gender budgeting, gender audit, and monitoring, etc.) are applied throughout the life cycle of the project. Project teams are aware of their responsibility for financial performance and achievement of gender values of projects. The PMOG team contributes to the cost-effective, client-oriented budgeting of projects.
Level VI. PMOG - center for gender-based project management (global criterion range [0.83;0.93]). PMOG is characterized by the achievement of significant improvements in gender-based project management. Most of the projects are carried out within the scheduled date, in full and with additional gender values. Best practices are documented and used for benchmarking and dissemination. Marketing of successful projects is important to support the motivation of all project groups and functional managers.
The competence of PMOG includes:
- capacity building of project teams on the use of gender knowledge and tools for the project, program, portfolio implementation with additional gender values;
- increasing the focus of inclusiveness (creating new database blocks, supporting centralized information sharing among all gender stakeholder groups);
- gender monitoring of the implementation of gender-oriented processes, procedures, operations, as well as the use of gender models, methods, tools for project, program, portfolio management;
- improvement of practices of gender-based project management that create additional value.
Level VII. PMOG: creation of additional, inclusive, gender project values (global criterion range [0.93;0.98]). PMOG implements projects, programs, portfolios with expanded parameters of inclusiveness. The organization benefits from PMOG in the form of client-oriented, gender-based budgeting, project implementation in the scheduled time and according to the schedule, as well as high level of participation and meeting inclusive, gender requirements project beneficiaries. The gender component (gender knowledge, methodologies, tools) is integrated into all project management processes. This allows the office to predict how changes in one element (project component and parameter) affect the state of other and/or other assets, organizational strategies.
Level VIII. PMOG - center for the development of gen -der-oriented project management (global criterion range [0.98;1]). In the organization, all projects are implemented using best practices of gender-based management. The organization has introduced a process of continuous improvement using gender knowledge, techniques, tools to identify the most effective ways to improve the effectiveness and gender value of projects. More than 95 % of projects are highly valued by project beneficiaries, and 10 % of projects exceed expectations.
The developed PMOG maturity assessment tools are important for improving the monitoring and analysis system of gender-based project management. The application of the developed analytical tools will be useful in the project activities of UN Women's offices [22], as well as other UN structures, which carry out gender-sensitive projects and programs.
At the same time, the author's approach requires further scientific and practical development in the direction of working with specific data. The empirical basis for further research shall be analytical reports on the functioning of PMOG in Ukraine (both at the national and local levels). It should be noted that at present, there are several PMOGs in Ukraine within the framework of the project activity of international funds (USAID, Friedrich Ebert Foundation, etc.). The creation of PMOG in state and local government structures is in the process of initiation. The impetus for their creation was the "Concept of the State Social Program for Ensuring Equal Rights and Opportunities for Women and Men" [23], adopted in 2017. Now the organizational and technical measures for the creation of PMOG are also carried out at the local level with the aim of implementing sustainable development strategies.
6. Conclusions
1. The matrix of maturity estimation of PMOG, presented by the project management knowledge areas and gender-sensitive maturity characteristics, is developed. The parameters of the organizational maturity of PMOG in the context of the development of gender-based project management are indicated. Eight levels of PMOG maturity are established: "I - definition of goals and objectives of PMOG "; "II - organization of PMOG "; "III - development of methods for effective gender-oriented project management"; "IV - development of the organization gender competence"; "V - recognition of PMOG effectiveness"; "VI - PMOG - center for gender-based project management"; "VII - creation of additional, inclusive, gender project values"; "VIII - center for the development of gender-oriented project management".
2. It has been established that the use of this model will development of gender-based project management, as well allow the PMOG directorates and top management of gen- as to select the actions needed to move to a higher level of der-sensitive organizations to self-assess the progress in the maturity.
