Competence Framework 2nd edition

Who is aware?
Who has used it?
![Page 9: Swwe presentation 100516](https://reader030.fdocument.pub/reader030/viewer/2022021506/5872506d1a28ab852f8b6ef1/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
Why did we need to change?
Previous framework had not been reviewed or updated since 2008
Edition 1 only relevant to Project Managers, not inclusive
Wanted to create a platform to build our product and service proposition
on to support our 2020 Strategy vision
We wanted to respond to customer feedback:
– Extend existing framework beyond just Project Management
– Ensure it becomes more relevant and practical for project professionals
– Ensure it’s flexible enough to integrate into existing frameworks and programmes

What’s different?
Streamlined and easier to use
– Number of competences reduced from 47 to 27
– Mapped new competence to old ones
Addresses both application and knowledge of each competence
Relevant for Project, Programme and Portfolio Managers and PMO roles
14 new role profiles
New ratings scale
New complexity guidance

How should you use it?
Review the competences and decide which are relevant to your role
Read the performance indicators for both application and knowledge
then score these holistically
Ask someone else to validate your scores
Measure yourself against a specific role profile
Use the gaps highlighted to develop and build into your PDP and CPD
plan

Key benefits
Role profiles give you the professional body view of competence and provide a
trusted benchmark
Enables you to make (consistent) comparisons across your PM community
Identifies the differences between professional body benchmark and actual skills
within your organisation
Identify skills gaps and can be used to support professional development plans
Facilitates movement between the four project professional disciplines
Modern Framework that can be used as it is or integrated into an existing
framework

In summary….
It’s integral to and underpins everything we do at APM
– Basis of all of our new product development
It enables organisations to assess their capacity and capabilities
across the breadth of their different functions
– Enables senior management teams to plan the skills development and
knowledge acquisition strategies in a common way for all delivery teams.
It enables individual project professionals to assess the knowledge
and experiences that they have against the knowledge and
experience they require to progress their career
– Identifies the study pathway that will best suit their individual requirements.

Introduction to new PPQ qualification
Launched on 21st April at the APM conference
It’s a developmental qualification that sits on the route to RPP
– Natural progression from Project Management Qualification
It’s not a direct replacement for the existing Practitioner Qualification,
but it sits in the same space
– The PQ is a retrospective assessment whereas the PPQ takes a
progressive/developmental approach

How have we tested the PPQ
We took a phased approach to launch:
– Proof of concept
– Pre-pilot followed by Full Pilot
Wanted to ensure that the testing was phased, robust and created an effective
learning cycle
Pilot Outcomes
Successful pilot, and confirmed that the PPQ is fit for purpose
Effective communication, stakeholder support and engagement was key
We have been able to successfully test the APM processes
We have had a number of live candidates who passed (and failed)
![Page 27: Swwe presentation 100516](https://reader030.fdocument.pub/reader030/viewer/2022021506/5872506d1a28ab852f8b6ef1/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Pilot candidate quotes
It was an opportunity to drive
me to make time for further
professional development
and be recognised within my
organisation for doing so
Having experience of the
workplace allows you to know
how you would approach each
of the problems posed so in
that respect it is quite realistic
I see the new qualification
as a clear stepping stone
to becoming a Registered
Project Professional
I wanted
external
recognition of
my skills and
experience
I really
enjoyed the
real world feel
of the exam
The PPQ paper was a valid
test of my ability to put theory
into practice. It was a
significant step from
demonstrating knowledge to
demonstrating ability and
competence.
