New Project Management Benchmark Report: take part!
Posted by Elizabeth
Arras People (you know them, the How to Manage a Camel people) are running their Benchmark Report survey again – for the 5th year. It covers the UK Project Management Industry in areas such as salaries, rates, gender, current climate, specific project management areas like professional bodies, competency and the outlook for 2010. If you are feeling gloomy about going into the New Year, this is the place to have your say.
The survey is UK-specific, so if you are based here please take part in the study. The aim this year is to increase the number of participants and to gain a more detailed study across the sectors where people are working within project management. The full results will be set out in a report next month, so you haven’t got long to get involved. The report is free – and you don’t get much for free these days.
They survey doesn’t take long to complete, and it covers the current issues and hot topics within the PPM field along with the usual data points on salaries, remuneration and day rates so that we can add to the databank and provide comparisons to last year and predictions for 2010.
Last year the study presented some really interesting findings that reflected a rather negative approach to the prevailing economic difficulties. For example, Public sector employees were better protected than private sector employees. Twice as many private sector employees and 5% more contractors expected rewards to fall in 2009. Did they actually fall? We’ll have to wait until the salary and benefits numbers are in for this year.
To take part in the survey please visit the Arras website.

Hi Thanks for the mention
Last year we had more than 1200 Project Management professionals take part in the Survey which provided insights such as;
• Earnings had suffered against expectations
• The recession had and would continue to make life tough for both employees and contractors
• Employers showed they wanted “more for less” in terms of cheaper, inexperienced but accredited project managers instead experience and experienced PMs.
• We determined there were nearly 80,000 project managers in the UK
• And much more on issues like accreditation, government investment, professional bodies, and the evolution of the Programme Management Office.
We’ve had some great feedback from the Survey thus far but we still need more participants to provide an accurate PM forecast for 2010. The survey is only open for a few weeks so please take part and be sure to get your free copy of the 2010 Project Management Benchmark report from Arras People.
