Abstract
As of today, the Department of Defense (DOD) project management competencies are structured
differently from industry. Industry has made advancements in project management that the DOD does not
currently take advantage of. By better aligning the DOD and PMI competency standards we can decrease
cost, schedule, and performance issues. Based on previous research on the topic, the current DOD
competency model is not sufficient for assessing today’s program managers. The purpose of this research is
to use the three PMI industry standards to develop a survey tool to better serve the DOD acquisition
workforce. We were able to create this survey tool and hope that, by using this survey tool, future research
teams will be able to effectively gauge the acquisition community’s correlation between the three PMI
standards and the current DOD workload. The information gathered from this research can be useful not
only to DOD acquisition communities, but also can set future guidelines to program managers in order to
save the DOD on schedule, cost, and performance.
