Boston University Corporate Education Center’s Project Management Competency Model

Determine the skills your organization needs to improve project success rates and plan your training and development initiatives accordingly. With our Project Management Competency Model, we’ll outline the three major areas that make up your project managers’ competencies and that are necessary for project success:

• Technical—project management skills and knowledge that make up the nine Knowledge Areas identified by the Project Management Institute®’s (PMI®’s) A Guide to the Project Management Body of Knowledge® (PMBOK® Guide).
  
  
• Personal—characteristics that underlie a person’s ability to successfully manage a project.
  
  
• Business and Leadership—critical skills that enable project managers to link any given project to the relationships, resources, and infrastructure of their organization.

These three categories combine the art and science of project management—“technical” capabilities focus on the science of project management, and the “personal” and “business and leadership” categories focus on the art of project management. Organizations that combine the art and science of project management into a best-practices process can significantly improve their project success rates.

Once we have identified the technical, personal, and business & leadership competencies needed for a successful project management practice throughout your organization, you can then use our Project Management Online Skills Assessment to measure these competencies in your potential and current project managers. No matter which areas your employees are lacking, (including leadership and management communications skills, which are often overlooked by other project management training providers), Boston University Corporate Education Center can develop a customized, comprehensive training solution that will fill any skill gaps that your organization may have.
