Project management competencies and their levels are chosen based on the success level of the projects that an organization targets. These competency areas and competency levels are then set as the target and assessments are conducted to determine the current competency levels in the identified areas. Based on the gap between current level and target level of competencies, a training curriculum is developed and the project managers are trained on the curriculum. The project managers are then mentored and their on-the-job performance is measured to monitor the impact of training on delivery parameters. The delivery parameters could include schedule deviation, effort deviation, defect rate and so on. Ideally, the training should result in more accurate effort estimates, more stable requirements, less schedule and cost overruns and less defects.
