Creating a Project Management Center of Excellence to Enable Project Success
The federal government needs a centralized
location, both physical and virtual, where agencies
can capitalize on the expertise of current
and future government project managers. The
fact that the Office of Personnel Management
(OPM) has developed a draft document outlining
a new project management job classification
represents a tremendous stride for the government.
It acknowledges that project management
is a real and important career discipline.
With an estimated 50 percent of the federal
workforce eligible for retirement in 2005, an initiative
to develop and retain qualified project
managers is crucial. A solution to this impending
crisis is to establish a Project Management
(PM) Center of Excellence at the federal government
enterprise level. The specific charter of
this organization would be to support the development
and institutionalization of consistent
project management competencies across all
federal government agencies.
