Based on the 48 concepts identified in review and comparison of existing standards, attendees at Working Session No 1 identified 14 Units of activities considered to be applicable to ‘most project managers in most contexts most of the time’ and 4 Units of activities considered to be applicable either in a role above that of project manager or only to some project managers in some contexts. The grouping of the 48 concepts into these Units is presented in Appendix A. Following initial public review and further work during Working Sessions 2 to 5, the number of Units was reduced to seven.  These Units, include Elements and Performance Criteria for the two levels of Project Manager, G1 and G2.  The six units in the draft standards for G1 and G2 Project Manager are: 

PM01   Manage Stakeholder Relationships
PM02   Manage Development of the Plan for the Project
PM03   Manage Project Progress
PM04   Manage Product Acceptance
PM05   Manage Project Transitions
PM06   Evaluate and Improve Project Performance (G2 only)

The standards are the same for each level except that G1 is required only to demonstrate competence against the first five of the Units and the G2 against all six.  The other major difference is that in order to be assessed at G1, an individual must have managed projects where the complexity factor ratings put it into the established range for G1. In similar fashion, an individual wishing to be assessed at G2 must have managed a project whose complexity factor ratings put it into the established range for G2 in the CIFTER table.
