Project management: are employees trained to work in project teams?

Article Abstract:

The demand for project management (PM) training is increasing as more companies use project team techniques and most employees have little exposure to or outdated training in the field. Enrollees in a community college course were surveyed to their level of PM training and the extent to which their companies would use PM techniques in the future. All 34 of the students surveyed were currently included in a PM team and 23 indicated increases in the use of PM techniques where they worked.

Research was conducted on how project managers develop their knowledge and how their continuous learning help improve project performance by defining processes in a project management environment and analyzing results of a survey of active project manager goals and method of learning. Findings show that there are variations on how lessons learned are applied by project managers which may be caused by the level of attention given to the learning goals.
