Bring Clarity to PM Performance
Across A&E firms, Project Managers often operate with very different roles, skill sets, and expectations. That makes it difficult to evaluate performance consistently, identify true capability gaps, and develop PMs in a targeted way.
We are currently developing a Project Manager Competency Assessment designed specifically for architecture and engineering firms. This assessment focuses on the capabilities that most directly influence project profitability, execution, leadership effectiveness, and client outcomes in order to provide firm leaders with clear, objective insight into strengths, gaps, and development priorities.
To ensure this tool addresses real-world challenges, we’ve created a brief, 2-minute survey to better understand:
How PM performance is evaluated today
Where firms struggle with consistency or visibility
Whether there is interest in piloting a practical, firm-specific assessment
Your perspective helps us build something truly valuable for the industry.
