- Development and validation of scenarios for the assessment of project management people competencesPublication . Souza, Mariane C.; Lima, Rui M.; Mesquita, Diana; Margalho, Elida M.The development of project management competences, particularly people competences, is a challenging and complex process. Scenario-based learning is an interesting approach to developing these competences, involving real problems that allow you to face challenges based on your own experience. In this sense, scenarios act as the starting point for diving into a real-world problem and fostering the whole process of decision making and searching for solutions. The International Project Management Association (IPMA) has defined an Individual Competence Baseline (ICB 4.0) standard for the development of the project management area of knowledge. The standard shows, besides other competences, the following 10 people competences: personal communication; leadership; teamwork; self-reflection and self-management; personal integrity and reliability; relationships and engagement; resourcefulness; conflict and crisis; negotiation; and result orientation. Development and assessment of these competences are increasingly important for the people working on projects. In addition, there is an accreditation process for these professionals that is increasingly required by organizations. The process involves an assessment of technical qualifications to improve task performance. In this sense, this paper aims to describe the development and validation of ten project management scenarios that allow the assessment of people competences. The methodology of the study comprised six phases. In addition, two pilot applications were conducted with the proposal to assess competence of the scenarios developed. The findings reveal that the scenarios can be used as an alternative approach to the accreditation process of professionals who work in project management.
- Development process of a rubric for assessment of leadership competences in project management scenariosPublication . Souza, Mariane C.; Margalho, Élida M.; Lima, Rui M.; Mesquita, DianaIn the field of Project Management, leadership competences have a significant impact on project execution, and are identified as a key factor in the success of an organization. In this regard, defining strategies and tools for development and assessment of leadership competences is a significant contribution to project management research and practice. Scenario-based learning is an interesting approach for development of a wide range of competences because it involves real problems and allows practitioners to face challenges based on their own professional experience. For the assessment process it is possible to identify indicators related to the competences to each scenario. The success of this process is influenced by the instrument that is being used and rubrics are one of the instruments that may be used for competence assessment. A rubric includes criteria and standards considering a specific scale on which different levels of assessment are established. This paper aims to describe the process of creating and validating a rubric, designed to assess leadership competences in project management scenarios, considering the Individual Competency Baseline (ICB). To illustrate this design and validation process, only one criteria of the rubric will be presented. The design of the rubric includes five phases, and includes internal validation based on an expert agreement, considering content, construct and criteria validation of the rubric. The expected outcomes of this work are the presentation of the results of the internal validation process that was conducted by two experts. As future work, the final version of the rubric will be developed as a contribution to assess leadership competences in project management scenarios.
- People competence assessment based on project management scenariosPublication . Souza, Mariane C.; Lima, Rui M.; Mesquita, DianaScenario-based assessment makes it possible to represent situations related to professional project management practices and, in this sense, allows the assessment of competences in contexts inspired by professional environments. From the point of view of project management competences, the Individual Competences Baseline (ICB) describes the competences required for individuals who work in the field. This framework shows, besides other competences, the 10 (ten) competences focused on people, namely: introspection and personal management; personal integrity and reliability; personal communication; leadership; teamwork; relationships and engagement; resourcefulness; conflict and crisis; negotiation and results orientation. This study aims to analyze the process of assessment of competences based on Project Management scenarios, in the context of the Engineering field. This study was based on an experimental process and involved Professors and Professionals in the Project Management area. As a result, an assessment of competences was obtained through dynamic, interactive scenarios, which promotes reflection and is aligned with professional project management practices. Another result points to the potentiality of applying scenarios, as a complementary strategy to traditional assessments. For future work, it is suggested to develop scenarios that can assess the other competences required by individuals who work in project management.
- Using scenarios for the development of personal communication competence in project managementPublication . Tinoco, Elisa; Lima, Rui M.; Mesquita, Diana; Souza, Mariane C.Personal communication is one of the factors having high impact on the success of projects. This work aims studying the usefulness of the application of scenarios for development of personal communication competence. Based on literature review, and considering the professional experience of the researchers, three scenarios were developed and applied. The data collection process was carried out in two moments with 24 participants: during a three-hour training, with observation and a questionnaire to collect the participants’ perspective; after the application, through a focus group and narratives. The results suggest that, according to the participants, the scenarios enhance the development of personal communication competence, but also that it may depend on a good conceptual background support, and that learners demonstrate availability and openness to this type of approach. This exploratory study presents scenarios as an innovative approach to increase the knowledge related to the development of personal communication competence in project management.
