Project Manager Competency Development (PMCD) Framework

The Standard presented in this paper provides guidance on defining project manager competence. The Project Manager Competency Development (PMCD) Framework was developed to apply generically to all project managers, regardless of the nature, type, size, or complexity of projects they may be engaged in managing. The targeted audience for this standard includes project managers, those aspiring to be project managers, the organizations that employ both of them, and any associated industry professional groups involved in managing projects. The intent has been to develop a standard to provide individuals and organizations with guidance on how to manage the professional development of the project manager.
