Conduct Project Manager Competency
Assessments (online)
How competent are your project managers?
How competent should they be?
Our online Project Manager Competency Assessment can answer these questions and
more.
Structure your training to address the greatest needs first.
Better project management requires better project managers. Our Project Manager
Competency Assessment is a tool that will show your managers where they are
good and where they could be better.
Our proprietary assessment describes nearly 100 observable behaviors of
successful white-collar project managers, grouped around 14 discrete competency
areas. The assessment provides key insights for individual managers (and the
entire organization) about the competencies necessary to be a successful
project manager.
| Competency Areas | Typical Behavior | |
| 1 | Communicating | Explains things well, and listens carefully to others |
| 2 | Customer Relations | Creates mutual interest in repeat business |
| 3 | Decision Making | Seeks (and listens to) both facts and opinions |
| 4 | Leadership | Has people volunteering for their projects |
| 5 | Negotiating | Uses objective criteria to evaluate |
| 6 | Organizational Effectiveness | Shows respect for individuals regardless of position |
| 7 | Perspective | Demonstrates awareness of competitors' strengths |
| 8 | Problem Solving | Encourages innovative and creative solutions |
| 9 | Progress Measurement | Submits status reports on time |
| 10 | Project Planning | Gets the team actively involved in planning |
| 11 | Risk Management | Takes prudent risks |
| 12 | Staff Development | Gives credit promptly and sincerely |
| 13 | Team Building | Talks about relationships as well as results |
| 14 | Technical Ability | Avoids getting immersed in unnecessary detail |
Actionable results. When the assessment results have been compiled, each participant receives a confidential report detailing the competency levels of the whole group that:
- Shows the group "current" and "ideal" ratings for each competency
- Identifies individual strengths relative to the group's ratings
- Shows the gap between "current individual" and the "group ideal"
- Suggests what their individual professional development needs may be
