Project Management Maturity - Pick your industry

Of course, one size does not fit all. In this presentation there is both an useful round-up of many project management maturity models and an interesting analysis of how things vary by circumstance. In particular, which industries tend to use how many metrics in assessing and managing their processes.
This leads to another interesting question - how many of these metrics are related to the type of product that the industry's projects usually produce as opposed to the pure management of the project.
For instance, the pharmaceutical industry pays a lot of attention to the process for clinical trials when druges are tested. The quality of the trial results depends on the processes for selecting patients, administering the drugs, recording results, etc. Let's call these 'product related' processes that have to be executed by the project team. Then there are the 'project management' related processes that are carried out by the project manager and team members. These would include the processes recognisable from PMBOK and elsewhere. In some project management environments, these two types of processes can get very closely intertwined.
Which brings us back to the original point. A maturity assessment can be very context sensitive because of the pervasiveness or otherwise of the product related processes.
