The use of methods and techniques for project management can measure the maturity level of companies, increasing the probability of achieving the expected results. Assessing the level of project management maturity can be useful as it allows the identification of gaps, weaknesses, as well as strengths, aiming at the continuous improvement of project management. This study aims to analyze the level of project management maturity of a family-owned food company located in western Santa Catarina. The study is characterized as a case study of a descriptive nature, with a quantitative approach. The analysis tool used was the PMMM - Project Management Maturity Model. The instrument was answered for 21 company employees who have a direct relationship with the preparation and execution of projects. The results indicated a low level of maturity, with an average of 2.45, which indicates the possibility of improvement through investment in training, implementation of a digital platform, and standardization of practices to gradually achieve higher levels of management absorption. The theoretical contribution of this study is because it is an applied study in the environment of family businesses using the MMGP tool, which filled a gap in the scientific literature, in addition to its data serving as a basis for the development of project maturity in other family businesses.
