Elizabeth Harrin specifies on pmtips.net a range of competences that make a project manager. These can be found in the book „APM Competence Framework“ and are suitable for self evaluation:

1. Technic

  • Risk management
  • Estimation
  • Stakeholder- and ressource management
  • Scheduling
  • Configuration management
  • Benefits management
  • Change control
  • Budgeting

2. Behaviour

  • Conflict management
  • Communication
  • Teamwork
  • Leadership
  • Negotiation
  • Learning and Developing

3. Contextual

  • Legal awareness
  • Governance
  • Sponsorship
  • Organisational roles and structure
  • Project life cycles
  • Health and safety

If I’d do some self evaluation – my strengths definitely are the ones listed under point 2, followed by point 3 and then point 1. What about you?
