Continual PM Self-Growth Model: Utilizing the PM Competency Evaluation Sheet

As business things change rapidly, various issues occur. It is important to resolve these issues by projects. Therefore, it is necessary for an organization to develop project manager (PM) to be in charge of the projects to achieve success. For PMs, it is not enough to only study project management. Based on the knowledge of project management, it is necessary for PM to practice projects, and gain personal and practice competencies. Therefore PMs have to have continuous training and practice to gain competencies. Also, it is important for PMs to evaluate their competencies at their optimum time, and set the next goal for the continual growth. Especially, during training to gain the competencies, it is necessary to evaluate the competencies of PM. As for the human resource development of the PMs, there are not many cases that the self-evaluation and the visualization of competency are combined. This paper proposes "Continual PM Self-Growth Model" with the self-evaluation of the competencies utilizing PM competency evaluation sheet at their optimum time between the outcome of training and the self-study. In this study, the model has been verified by PMs.
