1. Ways of Working (Process) – 50% of Exam Content: This domain is all about the ‘how’ of project management.

2. Power Skills (Soft Skills) – 42% of Exam Content: These are the interpersonal and leadership skills critical to the human element of project management.

From conflict resolution to motivational techniques, these skills are about harnessing the power of human dynamics to propel project success.
3. Business Acumen – 8% of Exam Content: With this, you’re looking at the project through a business lens—understanding how it fits within organizational strategies and responds to global trends. It’s about ensuring the project’s outcomes align with business objectives, thereby contributing to the organization’s bottom line. This facet of the Talent Triangle requires you to make decisions that not only advance project goals but also enhance business value.
