将来,CIA的项目要取得成功,其关键就在于向一个PMBOKa核心知识为基础的项目管理认证计划的转变。这个战略调整的意义和影响将随着PMTCP的逐步实现而愈发明显,尽管目前只被少部分有关人员认可。我们将把现有的实用商业课件变成高质量的培训材料,充分满足CIA的需要。我们要把这些工作做好,不仅让PMTCP计划办公室满意,还要让标准工作组满意。要使CIA的职工们接受认证考试的做法而非论资排辈,需要审慎的沟通,也可能需要采取激励措施。改变会遇到阻力,CIA又有其特殊性,要克服这些障碍就需要与受此影响的人进行大量的磨合工作,并得到他们的参与。我们改弦易辙、平稳地向新的PMBOKa指南结合以知识为基础的认证方式过渡的工作将在标准工作组的全面指导下进行。这个工作组也将因他们的提议被全体员工广泛思考而受益。最后,研究一种可接受的办法,实行周期性的再认证工作仍是一个等待解决的课题。
PMTCP为CIA实现其更好地管理项目的愿望创造了机会。PMTCP中设有根据课后考试结果对个人基本技能水平倾向进行分析的任务。还设有项目管理成熟度的标竿管理,以便认识在组织级别上取得的效果。还会开发一些方法来监视在工作区和职业发展上对PMTCP的接受程度。预期的效果是,这些工作将对CIA的项目管理工作的开展产生积极深远的影响。
