Foundations and Integration
How well you establish project purpose, integrate management disciplines and maintain control across the lifecycle.
INDENTRA Project Management Academy
Project Management Skills Assessment
Assess your project-management capability across seven connected competency domains, identify strengths and development priorities, and translate the results into a focused learning pathway.
A structured capability diagnostic
Look beyond a single score and understand your project-management profile.
The assessment uses 35 applied self-rating statements. Your results are calculated overall and by competency domain so you can see where capability appears strongest and where focused development may create the greatest value.
- 35 statements grouped into seven practical project-management competency domains.
- Five-point behaviour-based self-rating scale rather than right-or-wrong examination questions.
- Overall profile, category scores and a visual radar chart.
- Text interpretation identifying strengths, priority gaps and relevant PMA learning pathways.
Seven competency domains
Assess the connected capabilities required to lead projects and deliver value.
The profile spans project fundamentals and controls, leadership and commercial judgement, complex delivery and future-focused capability.
Scope, Schedule and Cost
Your ability to convert requirements into credible baselines and use integrated controls to forecast and manage delivery.
Risk, Quality and Assurance
How effectively you manage uncertainty, define quality expectations and use assurance to improve confidence in delivery.
Stakeholders and Leadership
Your capability to lead temporary teams, influence stakeholders and maintain alignment, accountability and constructive communication.
Business, Commercial and Value
How well you connect delivery with strategy, benefits, commercial decisions, suppliers and organisational value.
Governance and Complexity
Your ability to make defensible decisions in complex, uncertain or distressed project environments.
Adaptive, Digital and Future
How effectively you tailor delivery, use digital evidence and AI responsibly, and consider change adoption and lifecycle value.

Please answer all five statements in this competency before continuing.
Competency 5 of 7
Business, Commercial and Value Management
How well you connect delivery with strategy, benefits, commercial decisions, suppliers and organisational value.
21. I can explain how a project supports strategy, operational priorities, customer value or other defined organisational outcomes.

24. I can make or support sourcing, procurement and supplier decisions using commercial, delivery, risk and relationship considerations.
25. I can evaluate trade-offs using value, cost, risk, time and organisational capacity rather than treating schedule completion as the only measure of success.
Please answer all five statements in this competency before continuing.
Competency 6 of 7
Governance, Complexity and Recovery
Your ability to make defensible decisions in complex, uncertain or distressed project environments.
26. I can design or work effectively within governance that provides timely decisions, proportionate controls and clear escalation routes.
27. I can recognise interacting causes, feedback effects, dependencies and second-order consequences rather than treating complex problems as isolated issues.
28. I can structure difficult project decisions using evidence, assumptions, uncertainty, options and explicit decision criteria.
29. I can identify early warning indicators of project distress and distinguish normal variance from conditions requiring management intervention.
30. I can assess whether a troubled project should be stabilised, recovered, restructured, re-baselined, paused or stopped using evidence rather than optimism.
