Is anyone aware of a standard definition of Project Manager I, II and III?

I have found the following, but I am not sure this is accepted by PMI


Project Manager I: 0-3 years of experience / works under supervision of Sr.PM

Project Manager II: 3-5 years of experience / multiple projects or one large project

Project Manager III: 6-10 years of experience / leads high priority projects

That seems like something that would be solely at the discretion of the employing organization. Every organization will be different and will have to determine if they want to set categories for their project manager positions, and how those levels should be defined.

Some organizations would do well if they could just properly use A project manager, let alone rank multiple PMs by experience or seniority.

From that angle, PMI should avoid any type of PM categorization.

Eduard,

I recently heard of this classification as well. It seems that it is accepted by PMI as while I was filling in a survey related to the PMI Chapter I am a member of, one of the questions was: What is your current role / position ? and the options mentioned:

Project Manager I
Project Manager II
Project Manager III
PM Consultant

I don't see this classification so often but maybe it will be becoming a trend soon.

Pretty sure I'd be out of luck for the physical requirements for that position (...lift and carry objects sometimes weighing up to 50 pounds...) The particular list appears to have been copied from a very specific position description as well

I've seen this classification from I to V. As I've realized it depends on the organization because each different job or role description has different requirements based on years or budget managed.

Hi Kim, are you referring to this?

It seems that only very matures organizations are using it. Because as I've explained before, I've seen different categorization depending on the organization.

If are your referring to another career path, could you share it? thank you,

Mayte,

I clicked on the link you provided, but it seems it is no longer available. I did a search for 'career path' on the PMI website, but I ran into a myriad of articles. Any clues on what I should be looking for?
