Ratings chart |
Use our ratings chart to assess your current level of knowledge and application for the 29 competences of the APM Competence Framework. Alternatively, use the our ratings to create your own ratings system.
To help rate your performance, it’s a good idea to consider the level of complexity of a change initiative that you manage. As a rule, a non-complex change initiative means clear objectives, low levels of risk and a limited number of interfaces and stakeholders. A complex change initiative, on the other hand, will typically have uncertain objectives, high levels of risk and/or innovation, and a large number of interfaces and stakeholders.
