Keith O’Shea, an Australian project manager I met online when I was writing my book, is doing some research into project management knowledge areas for his PhD. The idea is to identify what project managers know, and how frequently they use those areas of knowledge. I’ve read a lot of research about what skills we have and how important they are, so this is a very different, and probably more useful, way of categorising knowledge.
If you’d like to help out with the research, you can download the Excel questionnaire here. It won’t take too long to fill in, although do remember to save your results before you send it back, so you don’t do what I did and return an empty questionnaire!
Please email your questionnaire to Keith at keithoshea@westnet.com.au (please don’t send them to me).
Deadline for replies: 20 May 2007
If you are interested in receiving the results, drop Keith another email (as the one with the survey attached will be deleted for confidentiality) saying you’d like to see the outcome, and he’ll add you to the list.
Thanks very much!
