  - Correct answer : B — Define the required competency levels for each project management role. A . Incorrect.

Correct. Defining the required competency levels for each project management role is the foundational step in competency management. It establishes a baseline for assessing current capabilities, identifying gaps, and guiding subsequent actions such as training, job description updates, and performance management. C . Incorrect. Training managers to assess competencies is a subsequent step that depends on having defined competency levels first. Without a defined competency model, assessments would lack consistency and objectivity. D . Incorrect. Establishing a direct link between competency ratings and bonuses is a performance management decision that should come after competencies are defined, assessed, and integrated into the framework. Implementing it too early may distort honest assessment.
