day Alice came to a fork in the road and saw a Cheshire cat in a tree. "Which road do I take?" she asked. "Where do you want to go?" was his response. "I don't know" Alice answered. "Then", said the cat, "it doesn't matter" Lewis

| PMI’s Career Framework |
| Overview Career Framework is a free Web-based self and peer assessment tool that will enable individuals to guide their career in project, program or portfolio management, see where they currently are, and decide how to move ahead in their careers. Career Framework will also help organisations that employ project management practitioners to develop an effective project management career path. [Go the the PMI Career Framework page] Organisations Results from PMI’s 2006 Project Management Salary Survey indicate that over two-thirds of corporations that employ project managers lack official project management career paths to help their employees develop and progress both horizontally and vertically. For examples, paths may allow employees to advance from management of smaller, less complex projects to projects of larger magnitude, or to advance from project management to program or portfolio management. As a result, many practitioners are uncertain how they can progress in their careers and what set of skills are needed to move ahead. Career Framework is designed to help organisations create career paths internally and identify the skills needed by project managers at every stage of their career. Contents PMI's Career Framework includes 5 job descriptions (3 in project management, 1 in program management, and 1 in portfolio management). Each description identifies a set of skills in management, leadership, communication and industry-specific knowledge required by project, program and portfolio managers. It leads you along a path to refine or acquire the needed knowledge and skills. Through Career Framework, your organization could introduce a project management career path that would help you and your colleagues plan career development activities and better contribute to the organization’s project management maturity and success. Organizations may modify PMI’s sample components to create their own, organization specific project management career path. The following baseline components may be modified: - Job definitions - Project/Program/Portfolio management skills - Leadership skills - Interpersonal skills - Project typology including attributes of complexity - Levels of proficiency - Job requirements for credentials (PgMP, PMP or CAPM - see 'Selecting your PMI Certification below) - Educational requirements (University degrees, etc.) Career Framework complements the OPM3® global standard (Organizational Project Management Maturity Model) created by PMI in 2003. OPM3 helps organizations to assess and develop their ability to deliver projects successfully, consistently and predictably; and is consistent with the 'Project Manager Competency Development Framework'. For additional information on these standards [ see Mosaic's Books Page ]. The new PMI PathPro™ online career assessment tool is designed to help plan and control your career development. Proficiency assessments enable practitioners to evaluate themselves against PMI’s sample job descriptions or the custom organizational job descriptions. Additionally, practitioners may request assessments from their supervisor, peers, stakeholders, customers, etc. For

Organisations can customise the Career Framework to suit the specific needs of their business. Job titles, specifications, etc are all open to editing, deleting and/or new positions being created. For more information contact PMI_CF@mosaicprojects.com.au Mosaic's training options support many aspects of the Career Framework including the full range of PMI Certifications [ see 'Selecting your PMI Certification below ] plus a wide range of specific workshops on-site Mentoring and Assistance for organisations and personal Project Management Coaching and Mentoring. |
