The Alpha Study asked…
Who is doing it right?

WHO GETS IT?
![Page 9: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/9.jpg)
• Identified through survey and interviews of 860 project managers
• Only top 2% of the field as ranked by team, customer, senior management, and qualifying interviews were grouped as Alphas
• Non-Alphas comprised remaining 98%

What the stakeholders told us
![Page 12: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/12.jpg)

Attitude and Belief
![Page 14: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
Senior managers definitely believe their project managers have enough authority
Alphas generally believe they have the “enough authority to manage a project”
![Page 15: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
“I have responsibility ...but not
authority!”

Communication
![Page 18: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Alpha project managers do not assume when it comes to communication
![Page 19: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
We asked 860 project managers “How effective are you at communication?”
Then we asked their stakeholders…
![Page 20: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
How do they do this?
![Page 21: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Alphas place a higher premium on the importance of communication.

Alphas place a higher premium on the importance of communication.

is my deliverable.” Victor (Alpha)

The Diabolical Problem!
![Page 24: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The Diabolical Problem!
• Most of us get self assessments all wrong!
– We rank ourselves too highly on common tasks or skills…!
– and too poorly on difficult or obscure tasks and skills!
![Page 25: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
More Diabolical Still…!
• Dunning–Kruger Effect!– The most incompetent of us tend to rank ourselves the highest!
![Page 26: The Alpha Project Managers α...Andy Crowe PMP Exam PMI-ACP(Agile) Exam Alpha PMs Project Management The Alpha Study The Alpha Study asked… Who is doing it right? WHO GETS IT? •](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062510/611900985ba7913df54b7c42/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
“Incompetence denies us the metacognitive ability to realize our mistakes”
