PM Core Competencies

? TF identified the minimum key core competencies needed for certification; aligned to 100% of ANSI knowledge areas and compliant with FY20 NDAA Sect 861

? Resulting list of management competencies (Acquisition, Business, Technical) needed for certification is approximately 42% the size of the current list

? List of leadership competencies are generally the same (although the PM specific list may be greatly reduced or eliminated entirely if adopted by the AWF)

? Competencies not included in Core would be gained through Specialty Training as needed

? PM core competencies are more comprehensive than ANSI standard (ANSI does not address aspects of Acquisition or DoD/Federal environment, statutory law, policies or practices)

Program Management Certification

? Practitioner

? Practitioner level program management workforce members have achieved a higher level of competence that is beyond a rudimentary awareness and understanding of the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with program management competencies

? This level is able to perform in difficult or complex situations and manage projects or program segments of low to moderate risks with little or moderate oversight.

? Applies to entire PM workforce ? Certification would require ~66% reduction in training hours compared to DAWIA levels I-II

? Advanced (or Advanced Practitioner)

? Senior level program management workforce members are considered to generally work at the "highest" or "expert" proficiency levels

? They are required to have advanced or enhanced levels of knowledge, skills and abilities associated with program management competencies. These members possess all, or nearly all, of the attributes needed to perform in the most complex or difficult situations

? Applies to those working beyond Practitioner in the most demanding segment of the PM workforce (Program Managers, Deputy Program Managers, and other positions designated by Component)

? Additional specialty training (per Title 10, Sect. 1735) also required for ACAT I/II PM/DPM ? Certification would represent a ~58% reduction in training compared to DAWIA level III
