The Project Manager Competency Assessment Program provides a multi-dimensional view of an individual's current project management knowledge, skills, and potential to effectively fill a project manager role. Armed with this diagnostic information, organizational leaders can determine which individual project managers have the highest potential to grow and excel. Project managers can then be assigned to the types of projects they are best suited to lead effectively.
The assessment results also help organizations target training only where deficiencies are recognized, thus eliminating unnecessary training programs and ensuring more productive results from their training investment. Individuals benefit from the personal feedback they receive on their current skills and attributes to make informed career and professional development decisions.
The Project Manager Competency Assessment Program has three main components: a multi-level knowledge test, a personality and cognitive assessment, and a multi-rater survey reviewing the current performance of project managers.
Once the assessment results have been compiled, the organization will receive a half- hour of verbal feedback on the aggregate results and the overall competency levels of those that took the assessment including their strengths, knowledge gaps, and areas for improvement. Recommendations for taking the next steps and building a professional development program tailored to addressing the identified improvement areas of the group will also be provided.
Each individual who goes through the assessment program will receive a private, one-half hour feedback session via phone with a development counselor to review the results of their assessment. Overall results will be provided electronically and will include the results from the PMKAP, Multi-rater, a Management Dynamics profile, and an overall competency rater report.
