InformationProgram Management Competency Assessment
Collaborative's Program Management Competency Assessment helps organizations understand proficiency levels of its project managers. Additionally, the Assessment outlines training and mentoring needed to address deficiencies. Once an organization fully comprehends the skills and gaps of its project managers, it can match the appropriate project managers with projects that are best suited to their strengths, increasing the probability of success.
Collaborative’s Project Management Competency Assessment includes four major activities:
- Mobilize the team.
- Create project types list.
- Assess capabilities.
- Compile and review results.
The Assessment reveals recommendations including external training courses, customized internal practical training programs, job shadowing, mentoring and reflective learning through project management communities. Additionally, Collaborative performs supplemental assessment services including customized professional development programs and practical case study workshops.
Understanding project management capabilities is the first step toward achieving project success. Organizations can reveal areas for improvement and effectively address skill gaps. Furthermore, training and mentoring can be tailored to specific needs, eliminating redundancy and ad-hoc haphazard training efforts. In the end, project managers receive specific professional development plans to help develop their competency while the organization benefits from better project managers—a winning combination.
