Program and Project Management Competency Model
Program and Project Management
Competencies are the foundation of training and developing project and program managers. NASA APPEL Knowledge Services developed the Project Management Competency Model to support the professional development of NASA’s technical workforce.
The model outlines distinct competency areas for project managers, as well as shared competencies that encompass both project management and systems engineering. There are 17 separate project management competencies which are categorized into 3 overall areas. The 14 shared competencies, common to both project management and systems engineers, are categorized into 5 general areas. Regular reviews and assessments of the competencies help NASA to determine where skill gaps exist and need to be addressed.
This model can be used in conjunction with the Project Management and Systems Engineering Development frameworks and our Curated Curricula to develop the skills and abilities that are considered drivers of success at NASA.
