As a leader of project, program, and change management – with 26+ years of experience, including teaching, coaching, and mentoring all levels within a PMO, I have a unique insight to what makes project leaders successful across multiple levels. These assessments are my own creations, used in previous roles and companies to evaluate what my team needed next. I’ve expanded and enhanced them for the general marketplace, but based on the many years of successful and helpful use!

This assessment was created for – and is ideal to support the careers of – PMs from completely new to experienced. The questions cover a wide range of knowledge, including PMI PMBOK, Agile Alliance (Scrum), and even OCM. The questions are set up to measure both your “book” knowledge (what training tells you) and “school of hard knocks”, with answers that only someone who has been there, done that would know. The questions include topics like: Project Planning, Team Dynamics, Customer Communication, Problem Solving, Risks and Issues.

Think you might be too experienced – maybe you need the Next Level version, but not sure? If you buy and complete this assessment, and you score 90% or better on average across the domains, I’ll send you the Next Level Leader assessment FREE.

• Communication – beyond the comms plan, how you manage bad news, conflict, and hard conversations
• Stakeholders – how you influence without authority, work with and manage executives, and create alignment
• Problem Solving – how you structure and manage ambiguous, high-stakes projects, react to problems, and resolve issues under pressure
• Strategic Thinking – how well can you connect the project execution to the business or client overall strategy, make portfolio-level judgements and understand second-order effects
• Resource Management – how you plan capacity, optimize people’s time, and manage trade-offs across competing demands
• Business Value – how you frame project-based work in terms of outcomes, not just activity
• Leader Ways of Working – your personal feelings and expectations within the project and program management space

Each assessment – whether individual or group – comes with a report on the strengths and areas for improvement, along with an overall “score” on your working style and suggestions on improvement.

Detailed reports by question domain, as well as recommendations for training, coaching, and social media/reading is available, either by email or call.

Further coaching / mentoring is available as well, either in pre-paid blocks or ad-hoc.

As an individual, I can provide recommendations to training courses online that align with your career goals and gaps from the assessment.

For groups, depending on the need, I can either provide recommendations OR build and deliver custom training to your team. Schedule a call to learn more.
