15. Increasing PM Competence

Are you the weakest link? Projects succeed or fail based on how well each of the key stakeholders performs their assigned and assumed roles. And yet, especially in larger projects, just one person who fails to embrace and deliver their results can void the efforts of the rest of the team.

This Learning experience uses ProjectExperts’ innovative PM CompModel^SM to identify key project roles, then to assess the Competences participants need to succeed in those roles. As a result, participants develop an action plan to fill the gaps, and follow through to evaluate the impact on project success.

Learning Objectives

	Identify the roles participants fill in projects, and the most important Competences to demonstrate, to improve project success.
	Perform self-assessment against those Competences, and identify your areas of greatest strengths, and greatest gaps.
	For the greatest strengths, identify ways to leverage them in your projects and your organization.
	For the greatest gaps, identify action plans to overcome them, and develop a timetable for re-evaluation, and identifying the benefits of your improvements.
	For key project stakeholders, identify ongoing ways to further improve project Competences.
	For Project Managers, identify the different types and levels of Project Manager Certification, the primary criteria that differentiates one from another, and examples of projects where each level is a minimum Competence requirement.

Audience
This module is perfect for intact project teams, including Project Manager, Sponsor, Resource Managers, Project Management Office Staff, Team Leaders and Team Members. Participants use the PM CompModel to identify their Competences, then map strengths and weaknesses, to an action plan to coach, train, or add staff to provide missing skills.

Human Resources groups or Learning, Education or Training managers who attend can help their organization apply a targeted improvement approach to project management Competences, rather than relying on “Just Too Late” or random public class attendance across a variety of PM vendors with inconsistent methods.

Some organizations prefer to have their Project Management Offices (PMO) administer PM CompModel, because it provides focus to the coaching and skillbuilding their PMOs provide.

This module is especially useful for those in Information Technology organizations who are attempting to improve their Skills as part of Capability Maturity Model improvement.
