Army Project Management--A Career Field.

Abstract

Currently, project management is not considered a career field under the OPMS concept. However, the positions do exist, and personnel are designated as project managers. This study addresses the question of career progressions of officers in the field as compared to rank equivalent commanders. It also proposes a possible career progression for the development of experienced project managers. The study concludes that currently there are no true command equivalent positions in project management for the lieutenant colonel. The recommendations are that a career field should be established and credible command equivalent positions should be recognized at the lieutenant colonel level. (Author)
