Technical competence of project management
The competence elements inserted below form part of the compulsory section of the summary project report
and must always be described. Remember that you need to describe a minimum of 12 PM technical
competence elements in your project report. The order in which you do so is up to you.
Describe the information you regard as relevant to each compulsory element and how the topic is addressed in
your project. Back up your statements with examples from your project documentation. Also ensure that your
personal contributions are visible.
For those competence elements where you regard it as appropriate, select a particularly delicate or important
topic and describe it in terms of the “Situation – Action – Result” behaviour triangle. The main focus of the
content should be on the action as the top priority and on the result as the outcome of your reflections as the
second priority. The description of the situation serves to facilitate an understanding of the position at the
outset.
