Program Management Task Force Overview
• Objective: The Task Force was formed with the purpose of developing and proposing a streamlined and adaptable PM workforce training and developmental concept that addresses “Voice of the Customer” issues by providing timely, relevant and tailored training for program management personnel across the defense acquisition workforce, consistent with the statutory requirements and OUSD(A&S) direction.
• Address key themes of DAU “Voice of the Customer” survey:o Current DAWIA 3-level certification model is too frontloaded o Much learning comes too soon; much forgotten or outdated when neededo Significant scrap learning; “this isn’t relevant to my job”o Too much policy, not enough tailorable, job-centered skills o Must support both job-centered learning and career-long development
• Address FY20 NDAA SEC. 861. Defense Acquisition Workforce Certification, Education, and Career Fields regarding Professional Certification Requirement
• Task Force formed with representatives from the Services, two agencies with the largest program management population (DISA and MDA), numerous advisors

Key Definitions• Acquisition Core Training: When developed, will
address baseline competencies applicable to the entire acquisition workforce and is needed for certification.
• PM Core Training: Training that addresses competencies that PM workforce members shall possess, appropriate to their level of responsibility, regardless of organization or specialty area, and is needed to attain certification.
• PM Specialty Training: Unique training that addresses competencies needed to perform a specific job or skill not shared by the entire program management workforce. Specialty Training is not part of Core training and is not needed for certification. Specialty training assignments are defined by unique needs of the individual position and worker, and therefore can vary greatly. Training is highly responsive and provides learning closer to the time of need and a foundation for individuals’ continued development.
• Continuous Development: The continuous learning program is used to learn, refresh or affirm skills and knowledge on an on-going basis. This program is to be used to promote and monitor certification currency and completion of credentials. Development includes Core, Specialty and Other Training. Other Training includes Currency / Refresher Training; On-the-Job Training in current job, or development assignments, training in other functional areas, etc.

Elements of these types of training can lead to Credentialing

PM Core Competencies
• TF identified the minimum key core competencies needed for certification; aligned to 100% of ANSI knowledge areas and compliant with FY20 NDAA Sect 861o Resulting list of management competencies (Acquisition, Business,
Technical) needed for certification is approximately 48% the size of the current list
o List of leadership competencies are generally the same (although the PM specific list may be greatly reduced or eliminated entirely if adopted by the AWF)
o Competencies not included in Core would be gained through Specialty Training as needed
• PM core competencies are more comprehensive than ANSI standard; (ANSI does not address aspects of Acquisition or DoD / Federal environment, statutory law, policies or practices)
![Page 7: Program Management Workforce Development Proposals - DAU](https://reader033.vdocument.in/reader033/viewer/2022051217/6279243da6773c7be2796ab4/html5/thumbnails/7.jpg)

Proposed PM Certification• Two levels of certification are being pursued given PM workforce skill levels gravitate
toward two groups• Practitioner
o Practitioner level program management workforce members have achieved a higher level of competence that is beyond a rudimentary awareness and understanding of the knowledge, skills, and abilities associated with program management competencies
o This level is able to perform in difficult or complex situations and manage projects or program segments of low to moderate risks with little or moderate oversight.
o Applies to entire PM workforce o Certification would require ~63% reduction in training hours compared to DAWIA levels I-II
• Advancedo Senior level program management workforce members are considered to generally work at the
“Advanced Practitioner” and “Expert” proficiency levels o They are required to have advanced or enhanced levels of knowledge, skills and abilities
associated with program management competencies. These members possess all, or nearly all, of the attributes needed to perform in the most complex or difficult situations
o Applies to those working beyond Practitioner in the most demanding segment of the PM workforce (Program Managers, Deputy Program Managers, and other positions designated by Component)
o Additional specialty training (per Title 10, Sect. 1735) also required for ACAT I/II PM/DPM.o Certification would represent a ~58% reduction in training compared to DAWIA level III

PM Practitioner PM AdvancedEducation Technical degree preferred Technical degree preferred
Training PM core competencies PM core competencies
Experience1 At least 4 years relevant acquisition experience with evidence of demonstrated proficiency in PM competencies.
8 or more years relevant program management experience, with at least 2 of these years with cost, schedule and performance responsibilities in a program management office or similar organization (dedicated matrix support to a PM, PEO, DCMA program integrator, or supervisor of shipbuilding).
Assessment & Validation
• Self-nominating process containing evidence of applicable experience over time
• Endorsement / Validation by certified PM designated by Component
• Comprehensive Examination
• Self-nominating process containing evidence of applicable experience over time
• Endorsement by certified PM designated by Component• Validation by 1 or more senior PM professionals designated by
Component• Comprehensive Examination
Verification Components verify and document completion of above requirements and provide DoD Program Management Certification.
Currency • 80 Continuous Learning Points every 2 years• CLPs are taken in technical, professional, and specialty competencies. • A certain amount/type of CLPs as determined by supervisor shall directly map to professional competencies. • If 80 CLPs not completed within 2 year time period, certification becomes inactive. Re-activate certification requires
passing comprehensive exam again. Specific application policy will need to be provided in DoDI 5000.66.
Proposed DoD PM Certification Requirements
Notes: 1. Fulfillment options available when onboarding more experienced personnel
