? 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)
