Abstract
This study aims to contribute to the improvement of the project management skill levels. It focuses on exploring the key experience factors that correlate with project manager expertise and project success. This study differs from current literature because it uses project managers’ self-assessment of their own expertise in 30 processes and 6 soft-skills as data for regression analysis to examine which factors represent the Overall Expertise levels and how they relate to self-reported rates of project success. The predictive assessment framework identifies strengths and weaknesses to focus improvement of project manager capability in specific areas.
