The IT Project Management test is a comprehensive employment assessment designed to measure the knowledge and skills of job candidates and employees in the principles and practices of Information Technology Project Management. It evaluates proficiency across key areas including Project Planning and Scheduling, Scope Management, Risk Management, Stakeholder Communication and Reporting, Budget and Cost Management, and Project Lifecycle and Methodology, covering both waterfall and agile approaches. The assessment gauges a candidate's ability to plan, execute, monitor, and close projects within cost and schedule constraints, while also testing understanding of work breakdown structures, earned value management, change control, procurement, and team dynamics.

The test features a variety of question formats including Multiple Choice, Multiple Correct Answer, and Essay Composition questions, with one or more questions scored using artificial intelligence to ensure accurate evaluation of written responses. To enhance the integrity and predictive value of the assessment, questions are drawn from a large pool to minimize the risk of cheating, and one or more questions are subject to individual time limits.

The specific attributes measured include:

Following completion, the test produces a Candidate Selection Report that includes an overall score and detailed scores for each attribute.

The Candidate Selection Report also provides expert interview questions that help you probe critical or low-scoring areas, along with a guide for noting your evaluation of the candidate's responses. Consistent use of an interview guide is an important part of gaining better candidate insights and making better hiring decisions.

Note that while the IT Project Management assessment is a useful and efficient instrument for confirming a base level of skill or knowledge about this important topic, it is not intended to pinpoint the exact level of candidate or skill. We recommend that skills tests, like this one, be used in parallel with other measurements, such as cognitive ability, job fit, and behavioral history. Each different type of test provides a valuable piece of information you can use when evaluating potential job performance.
