PROGRESS: Task Books for Project Managers




Between the Slides show

Summary: After I took the required classes I was observed on many occasions working at the Unit level and in the Planning Section Chief (PSC) position.  This observation was documented in a "task book" and is a great process that allows a more seasoned PSC to observe, provide comment and eventually credential new Plans Chiefs. In my $.02 a key difference between the PSC task book and the process for submitting Project Manager experience for the PMP exam is the task book provides a built in mentoring tool. In this episode I share how similar criteria and processes could be used to credential Project Managers. Below are the high level areas I discuss in more detail in this episode: * PSC Requirement: Competency in subordinate positions -> PM Requirement: Competency as Scheduler and Coordinator * PSC Requirement: Competency to assume PSC role     -> PM Requirement: Experience and readiness to take on PM for project * PSC Requirement: Ability to lead assigned personnel    -> PM Requirement: Ability to facilitate teamwork and processes * PSC Requirement: Ability to communicate effectively   -> PM Requirement: Ability to facilitate project reporting and comms * PSC Requirement: Align assignments with objectives    -> PM Requirement: Validate task alignment with scope, budget and schedule Thank you all for listening, subscribing, rating, reviewing and providing your feedback.
