很久之前,大約也有差不多十年之前吧,在一個網站裏看到過關於IT Project Manager 的Soft Competence,列出了一系列的標準,用以在各方面綜合評估IT PM 的能力。
當時筆者還是一個剛出社會工作的小伙子,還未有機會開始做PM 的工作,但就按著這個標準來看其它PM的做法,也把這些標準記錄了下來,希望自己也朝著這些目標前進。
以下的標準大約有二十多個,印象中每個也可以由1-5評分,但實際上多少分叫做高我也不太記得了,也覺得這個並不重要,重要反而是這些標準描述本身。
嘗試在Google 上想找回這些標準的出處,但也找不到了,希望原作者不會介意吧。

今日回看,仍然覺得這些標準在今日的機構裏仍然是相當適用。作為項目經理,大家也可以用這個來評核一下自己的表現。
