Improving Project Competencies

Overview
(1/2 Day)

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 workshop uses ProjectExperts’ innovative PM CompModel^SM to identify key project roles, then to assess the competencies 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 competencies to demonstrate, to improve project success.
Perform self-assessment against those competencies, 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 competencies.
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 competency requirement.

Audience

This module is perfect for intact project teams:

Project Manager
Sponsor
Resource Managers
Project Office Staff
Team Leaders
Team Members

Participants use the PMCompModel to identify their competencies, then map strengths and weaknesses, to an action plan to coach, train, or add staff to provide missing skills.

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

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

Note: We custom-build modules too!
