The Office of Personnel Management will be conducting assessments next year of program and project managers across federal agencies to determine the competencies of the management workforce.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The agency announced in a Dec. 4 memo, that it would begin conducting assessments in a phased approach of four groups beginning May 2019.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The assessment comes as part of requirements set forth by the Program Management Improvement Accountability Act, which was signed into law December 2016 and requires OPM to oversee the implementation of standards and policies for program and project management across the federal government.<\/p>\n\n\n\t
