Abstract
Key Findings
RT-306 finalized a PM competency list comprising 49 competencies distributed across four categories of PM skills and attributes (RS306-1, p. 8):
- Knowledge/Experience
- Management
- Cognitive (Personal)
- Leadership
The flow chart summarizes the logic used for the PM CAT in three steps shown in the figure below. (RS306-1, p. 17)
PM CAT is extremely flexible and allows companies to edit answer choices to accommodate company specific terminology, and alter competency weights to match current or future trends. Examples of useful PM CAT facts include the following (RS306-1, p. 19):
- Can be used to determine training and development needs
- Vetting tool for potential Project Manager
- Should not be confused with a performance rating system
RT-306 developed a competency assessment tool effective in evaluating the skills of project managers on EPC projects. PM CAT was not developed with a database for accumulating results. The creation of a database would be useful as future research (RS306-1, p. 21).
