IPMA Certification Yearbook 2005 14 International Project Management Association ber association and IPMA and approved the universal four level concept. The ICB was submitted to the National Associations as version 1.0 for comments in 1998 and then published the first time by IPMA as version 2.0 in February 1999. The Version 2.0 of the ICB was in three languages: English, German and French. It was established on the basis of the National Competence Baselines of APM (the U.K. Body of Knowledge), VZPM (the Swiss Assessment Structure), PM-ZERT (the German Projektmanagement-Kanon) and AFITEP (the French Assessment Criteria). From these National Competence Baselines as much elements as possible were adopted or slightly modified. The IPMA Competence Baseline is used as a reference basis for all substantial normative documents for the IPMA validated qualification and certification schemes as well as for referencing of the project management competence in theory and practice (e.g. project management literature, research projects, education, training and continuing professional development and reports about the management of projects). The ICB reflects the principles for the project management competence assessment that are commonly accepted within the IPMA. By consequence, it influences, and is influenced, by developments on the national competence baselines. Each national association is responsible for establishing its own detailed documents for its qualification and certification, especially the National Competence Baseline (NCB). This documentation is valid for the certification. A certain freedom shall be available for including national cultures and the advancement of the project management competence. On the other hand the IPMA harmonisation is responding to the requirements of companies and organisations that are active internationally. The ICB Version 2.0 was established in 1999 and consisted of 42 elements for knowledge and experience in project management (28 core elements and 14 additional elements) as well as 8 aspects for personal attitudes and 10 aspects for the general impression. IPMA required that all 28 core elements and at least 6 additional elements chosen by the nation as well as the aspects for personal attitudes and the general impression are accepted in a NCB. However up to eight of the additional elements for knowledge and experience (i.e. about 20% of the 42 elements) could be eliminated or replaced by new elements for taking the national characteristics and new developments in project management into account. A minor revision of the ICB was made in April 2001. A major revision of the ICB started in 2004 and was finished in March 2006. The ICB Version 3.0 (2006) consists of 46 competence elements (see next page): • 20 technical competence elements dealing with the project management matter on which the professionals are working • 15 behavioural competence elements dealing with the personal relationships between the individuals and groups managed in the projects, programmes and portfolios • 11 contextual competence elements dealing with the interaction of the project management with the context of the project and within the permanent organisations For each competence element, the knowledge and the experience are assessed using a scale with values from 0 (no competence) to 10 (absolute maximum) are used. The eye of competence represents the integration of all elements of project management as seen through the eyes of the project managers when evaluating a specific situation. The eye also represents clarity and vision. Version 1.00 / 31.03.2006 © 2005 International Project Management Association
