Summary

Whatever method or methods of mentoring an organization chooses, the process of implementing the program is the same. A formal mentoring process with clear policies is the key to successfully implementing a project management-mentoring program.

The formal mentoring program provides a structured approach to selecting, training, and supporting mentors. It also allows for evaluation of the program and continuous improvement of project management. Additionally, there is a platform upon which mentors can be recognized. Typically, the mentoring program can be initiated through a project office or the training and development department.
