The Standards – What are they?The Standards – What are they?
• A new set of standards, designed specifically for the AIPM incorporating:– Competency requirements– Professional requirements
• A sound basis for development of a new set of National Competency Standards for Project Management

The Development of AIPM’s New The Development of AIPM’s New Competency StandardsCompetency Standards
AIPM developed PM competency standards for AQF 4, 5 and 6 during the early 1990’s
These were approved as National Competency Standards in 1996 and reviewed in 2004.
The 2004 version is being used for RegPM assessments and is the current version of the PM domain in the Business Services Training Package.
Since 2004 the PM body of knowledge and industry expectations of project management have increased substantially.

Reason for ReviewReason for Review
• The National Standards (AQF 4, 5 and 6) are overdue for review
• Industry voiced the need for:– Upgrading the standards to meet industry needs– Higher levels of Project Manager performance
particularly at the senior management level– More consistent assessments

Who is developing the new standards?Who is developing the new standards?
• The new standards are being developed under the direction of the AIPM’s Recognition Council through the:
– Technical Standards Working Group – a group of practising project management practitioners
– Assessor Working Group – a group of practising project management work place Assessors

Who is reviewing the new standards?Who is reviewing the new standards?
• The new standards are being reviewed by:– an Industry Reference Group– Assessors– Trainers– AIPM Chapters– an ExecPM cohort– AIPM’s Recognition Council
• Standards will be available on the website for Public Comment to meet ISO requirements

TitlesTitles
• The post nominal RegPM gets confused within the RegPM Program.
• This review recommends that we reassign titles to the new standard levels and that certified titles other than ExecPM carry the lead-in words “Certified Practising” so that we have:– Executive Project Manager (ExecPM)– Certified Practising Project Director (CPPD)– Certified Practising Senior Project Manager (CPSPM)– Certified Practising Project Manager (CPPM)– Certified Practising Project Practitioner (CPPP)
• As well as a:– Project Team Member

Why CPPM and CPSPM?Why CPPM and CPSPM?
This has to be a good question to postulate right now! So why?
A Senior Project Manager (CPSPM) needs:
•Knowledge required to manage projects across a wide spectrum of complexity, and
•Experience in order to manage major projects which are likely to be more difficult.
WE ARE SEEKING INDUSTRY GUIDANCE TO VALIDATE THESE DIFFERENTIALS
13/8/2007Presented to ACT Chapter Forum by Peter Dechaineux 15th August 2007

Relationship to AQFRelationship to AQF
• We must not lose sight of the fact that:– the proposed new AIPM Competency
Standards for PM are for AIPM use in it’s RegPM Program, and
– the intent is to modify the AIPM Competency Standards for PM to suit AQF requirements and then submit to IBSA for their endorsement/approval
