A Role Delineation Study (RDS) is a research study that examines the specific tasks of a project management professional, as well as identifies the knowledge/skills required to perform those tasks competently. As a result of the study, examination content and qualification criteria may be updated to reflect the current status of the profession.
An initial RDS is conducted in order to establish the content coverage of a new examination. Typically, organizations conduct update studies every three to five years, although groups may conduct these studies more or less frequently, depending on the rate of change in a profession.
Updated studies ensure that the examination continues to assess what is most relevant to practice as the profession evolves.
