I was reading Start-Up Nation by Dan Senor and Saul Singer and wants to highlight that although it talks lot about the country culture but why we cannot practice that in our own organization for example, we should have a template stating that Person X is manager of Project Y because ...... OR Person X is manager of Person A because Person X has .... qualities or experience or certificates.
I know somewhere it is related to 5 powers manager has but still I believe tranparency brings lot of postive change.
Transparency always brings lots of thoughts. One of the challenges in PM is that the organization of the project or company, does not let you perform in the correct way. You may need to consider politics, restrictions, etc. here you can see the art side of management.

I fully agree on your thoughts. I guess a big point is that there are some employees who clearly dont want this transparency, for any reasons. Saving Changes...

Years of experience and certifications matters and yes, there should be transparency but sometimes experienced people also are unable to handle situations at times. Whereas sometimes, less experienced people manage projects well. But still, to remove politics, there has to be transparency. Saving Changes...

Wholeheartedly agree that transparency is a key element to organizational culture. However, I'm not entirely sure certifications and years of experience will convey the message of why xyz person is qualified to lead a project. Throughout my career, I've observed people being promoted to manager roles that have promoted due to seniority instead of due to leadership and knowledge. Years at a company or running projects based on that companies needs doesn't necessarily translate to the best and most qualified candidates. On the flip end, I know of many highly talented and qualified analysts, associate level PMs and supporting roles that don't necessarily have the same PMP certification (due to cert requirements), but are fully capable of exceeding in an official PM role. In that respect, I'd say transparency should be regarding professional development, leadership attributes, team ratings and successful/unsuccessful projects. Saving Changes...

I agree that transparency, merit and competence skills should be the key factors in an organization to leverage people to the positions they deserve. But we are being naive if we think this are the main factors in many organizations, we do know that relationships, organizations internal politics, hidden interests and seniority in many cases take advantage over the first ones.
