In order to earn the PMI’s newest credential the PgMP® you must first pass three evaluations; 1) The application review, 2) The credential’s exam and 3) The multi-rater assessment or MRA. The MRA seems like a very straight-forward 360 exam, and by all accounts it is. I am writing this post just to call your attention to the MRA requirements.
The PgMP® application reads that “In order to comply with the Multi-rater Assessment, you must provide 12 reference contacts to review your competence as a program manager. Your contacts must include: one supervisor, four peers, four direct reports and three professional references of your choice.” What the application fails to mention, but which is clearly stated in the PgMP® Handbook is to make sure all of the raters will respond. This means that 12 responders are the minimum.
