Description
Summary:Global processes and their trends taking place in various fields of knowledge with a significant acceleration affect the development of information and communication technologies and project management competences, programs and project portfolios. The purpose of the article is to develop and investigate the mechanisms for assessing the project managers’ competences for their development based on global trends and Agile's flexible methodology in project management in creating modern information and communication technologies in the field of project management. Global trends that create challenges in developing project management competences and programs are related to global acceleration, digitalization of society, development of block chains, cloud and fog technologies, active introduction of intelligent systems, transition from "rational economy" to "behavioural economy". The convergence of these trends creates a new platform for the effectiveness of applying existing methodologies, knowledge systems and methods for evaluating the competence of project managers. On the basis of convergence, integration and harmonization of methodologies for project and program management, a step-by-step approach to research has been identified. The formation of an updated system of competences based on global trends lies in the replacement of paradigms from traditional life cycle project models to flexible models such as Agile. Decision-making in the conditions of uncertainty on the basis of datamining become more justified. The article deals with modern information models of projects and programs, changing system of project managers’ competences, bringing together decision-making models and methods. At the same time, the change of competences, as actions or functions that project managers must perform, affects the model of competency and the assessment system, including key indicators of competency. The informative model of diagnostics application of competency models and methods of project management in digital and "behavioural economics" is based on the use of flexible methodologies. Some key indicators of competency are defined that are applied in the assessment of the project manager competency based on his competences in the project team. Patterns of project managers' behaviour when designing product and project management have been studied. The patterns allowed authors to identify bottlenecks in applying Agile project management methodologies in the convergence of trend information models and technologies. An example of information technology for managing the competency assessment of project managers by the IPMA ICB4 model is given.
