Judging Project Managers In 10 Minutes

A while ago I asked a group of you, my readers, my beloved, loyal readers, “If you have 10 minutes, how do you judge a project manager?” I have used the answers to that question for my monthly column at TechTarget… (you might have to register, but its free, and you have access to a lot of other interesting stuff).

The best summary of the responses is given by this statement: “If they just use jargon from the PMBok, I put them on the lower end of the scale. If they talk about the importance of stakeholders and people in general I put them on the high end of the scale. The PMBok hardly covers stakeholders, so they must have been in the trenches.”
