Abstract: In response to the competitive and dynamic business landscape, organisations must enhance their activities by developing competencies, a critical success factor in project management. This article proposes a competency diagnosis model for project professionals based on project typology, drawing insights from academic and practitioner sources. The exploratory descriptive study comprises three stages: 1) a systematic literature review of 18 articles from Scopus and Web of Sciences; 2) mapping of grey literature; 3) analysis of 57 patents from Espacenet. The model facilitates competency diagnosis, comparison, and evaluation within project typologies, enabling organisations to identify gaps and select professionals aligned with project requirements. This contribution supports universities in adapting educational programs to meet competency demands for both the workforce and research pursuits.

Keywords: competency; project professional; projects; project management; competency diagnosis; project typology.
