Boston, Massachusetts, May 27, 2009 - The Standish Group announced today a new tool to help organizations improve the success rate of their project management execution. The CHAOS Project Manager Assessment (CPMA) is an appraisal of individual project managers. Using specialized tools, databases, and advisory capabilities, The Standish Group executes a series of well-developed, focused, and short events to provide a complete evaluation of a project manager?s project execution skills.
"The CPMA highlights the organization project managers' strengths and weaknesses thus allowing the organization to focus on the areas that will provide the best value for improvement." Said Jim Johnson, Chairman, The Standish Group. "Throughout the years, we've heard from executives that project execution is the most important measurement of success in their organizations. Knowledge about process is essential but getting the job done -- or the transference of knowledge into practice and the soft skills of PM are what makes the difference in project success."
"We've developed a set of assessment questions that focus on
practice not process to help project managers and organizations quickly realize improvement where it matters most", said Jim Crear, CIO, The Standish Group, "It provides that missing link that CIOs and PMOs have been looking for; Project Managers that can really manage projects and those that can't, before too much damage is done.".
