How effectively do you manage your projects?  Regardless of your score, this 50 point self assessment will help you identify very practical areas to focus on and improve the skills you have.

 

The assessment covers:

  • Planning skills
  • Management skills 
  • Communication skills
  • Closeout skills

 

What will you get out of this?

This self assessment will help you identify areas of strength and clarify them in your mind by asking you to provide examples.  It will also help you identify areas to be worked on and force you to think about them in the right context.

"To anyone who's thinking about taking this self-assessment: be mindful that the questions asked seem to assume that your organization has a fairly high level of maturity in Project Management. If your company, like mine, barely understands what Project Management is about, then the questions (and their results) are hardly relevant."
