Standish Announces CHAOS Project Manager Evaluation Product

BOSTON, MA, May 27 (MARKET WIRE) --
The Standish Group announced today a new tool to help organizations
improve the success rate of their project management execution. The CHAOS
Project Manager Assessment (CPMA) is an appraisal of individual project
managers. Using specialized tools, databases, and advisory capabilities,
The Standish Group executes a series of well-developed, focused, and
short events to provide a complete evaluation of a project manager's
project execution skills.

"The CPMA highlights the organization project managers' strengths and
weaknesses, thus allowing the organization to focus on the areas that will
provide the best value for improvement," said Jim Johnson, Chairman, The
Standish Group. "Throughout the years, we've heard from executives that
project execution is the most important measurement of success in their
organizations. Knowledge about process is essential but getting the job
done -- or the transference of knowledge into practice and the soft skills
of PM -- are what make the difference in project success."

"We've developed a set of assessment questions that focus on practice not
process to help project managers and organizations quickly realize
improvement where it matters most," said Jim Crear, CIO, The Standish
Group. "It provides that missing link that CIOs and PMOs have been
looking for; Project Managers that can really manage projects and those
that can't, before too much damage is done."
