KPIs for project roles
|
Hello Reader, People often ask me how project managers can be evaluated, or what targets should be set for people in project roles. And at this time of year as leaders think about annual reviews, it seems to be even more of a conversation topic. It’s a bit tricky to provide a one-size-fits-all answer, but I have come up with some Key Performance Indicators for project managers, that you can use as a starting point for your own team. There are so many ways you could track how well a project manager is performing, but I think it’s quite separate from how the project is going. After all, we can’t always control for all the variables and you’ll probably find that cost, schedule and changes all happen whether the project manager is the best one on the team or not.
For more on KPIs for project coordinators, PMO analysts and PMO managers, read this. What other KPIs would you include in your role or that of your team members? Have a lovely week! Elizabeth Other things you might have missed:

The short version is that they’re not competing frameworks. They’re not even trying to do the same job. The PMBOK Guide is a body of knowledge. It describes what good...
Hello Reader, I get asked about qualifications and certifications a lot. “Should I do PMP?” “Is PRINCE2 still relevant?” “Do I need Agile certification?” “Will this actually help me get promoted?” If you’re thinking about training or certification, I’ve pulled together my best articles in one place so you can make an informed decision rather than just following whatever’s trending on LinkedIn. Across RebelsGuideToPM.com you’ll find guidance on: How to choose the right qualification for your...
Hello Reader, I sat down with Mike Fesko recently for a podcast episode on how to lead multiple projects without burning out.
