Sponsorship Competence Assessment

How This Assessment Works

You will rate your knowledge and ability across the six core competence criteria for project sponsors as defined by the Praxis Framework. For each area, select a rating from 0 to 5 based on the APM competence scale. After rating all criteria, click “Show Results” to see your overall profile. The tool will display a chart of your scores and tailored suggestions for any area where you scored below 3 (Competent).

APM Rating Scale (0–5) – Definitions

• 0 Unaware – You have no knowledge or awareness of this competency. (You likely have not been exposed to it or trained in it, and you would not be able to perform it.)
• 1 Aware – You have a basic awareness of the competency. You know it in theory but have no practical experience applying it.
• 2 Practised – You have a working knowledge and can describe the competency. You have some experience practicing it under guidance, typically in straightforward situations.
• 3 Competent – You have comprehensive knowledge. You can apply it independently in projects of limited complexity, without supervision. (This is the baseline of being fully capable in routine scenarios.)
• 4 Proficient – You possess a detailed, in-depth knowledge, even in complex situations. You apply it independently and can critically evaluate or adapt methods. You may also mentor or supervise others.
• 5 Expert – You are an acknowledged expert. You have in-depth knowledge in novel and complex situations and can develop new approaches. You educate others and are recognized as a go-to authority.
