Today's global market is acknowledged for generating rapid and dynamic innovations, thus companies must improve their capability to manage innovation projects. In that context, a high-technology aerospace company made investments to strengthen that capability, through the creation of a Project Management Training Program for a significant group of employees. This program, a priori, seems to have improved the project management performance, however, an assessment that identifies the return is needed to justify the investment. Thus, considering this outlook, the study herein presents a revised version of an assessment model developed to measure the gains obtained by improving project management capability, as a result of the investments made by the company. The main idea of the model is to unfold the capability to manage projects into groups of competencies, which enable to manage and estimulate the distinct learning processes that take place during the development of innovation projects. Additionally, the model considers assessing the return-on-investment in training, from the perspective of improving the project management's performance. An application of the proposed model is presented and analyzed. Lastly, considerations on the results and possible methodology expansions are included.
