Arlington, VA – Oct. 18, 2012 – ESI International, the world’s leading project management training company, today announced the release of a new Agile-specific assessment designed to allow organizations to benchmark their current Agile knowledge and behaviors against the capabilities that enable successful execution of Agile projects.
 
“The assessment will allow organizations to clearly identify potential skill gaps as it relates to Agile,” says ESI Practice Manager Matthew J. Ferguson, CSM. “Assessment results will enable training and PMO leaders to focus learning investments toward areas that can directly enhance the skills and competencies of their Agile practitioners.”
 
Available as a stand-alone offering or combined with ESI’s Agile Practitioner curriculum, the Agile Knowledge and Practice Assessment includes 64 questions that address three dimensions of Agile project manager performance:
 
·         Knowledge-based questions: Does the individual understand the key Agile tenants
·         Behavior-based questions: To what degree are Agile practices being performed
·         Empowerment and support focused questions: Understanding the work environment and how to enhance it for peak Agile performance
The assessment can be customized to meet specific client needs. 
 
“Not only does this assessment highlight skill gaps,” says Ferguson, “but also, it illustrates areas where practitioners are failing to apply conceptual knowledge on the job. Further, the assessment highlights how knowledge gaps present themselves across different roles, allowing organizations to make smarter training investments.”
