The PMI Talent Triangle®
The PMI Talent Triangle® outlines the crucial skill sets that project professionals need to excel in the modern project environment. PMI has structured the Talent Triangle to encompass three critical areas of expertise that support project success and adaptability:
- Ways of Working: This area emphasizes the diverse methodologies and practices essential for effective project delivery. It includes proficiency in various project management approaches such as Agile, Waterfall, and hybrid models, enabling professionals to select and apply the most suitable methods for their projects.
- Power Skills: These are the interpersonal and behavioral skills that help project leaders manage teams and stakeholders effectively. Power Skills include emotional intelligence, communication, leadership, negotiation, and critical thinking, all of which are vital for navigating the complexities of team dynamics and project demands.
- Business Acumen: This component focuses on the ability to understand and apply knowledge that contributes to organizational success and strategic alignment. It covers understanding market trends, organizational strategy, financial acumen, and the ability to innovate, ensuring that projects drive business value and align with the broader business goals.
Together, these three areas form a comprehensive framework that equips project professionals with the skills needed to lead projects efficiently and adapt to the evolving demands of the project management landscape.
