Abstract
In IBM Japan Corp., the mentoring activity is obliged to the certified Project Managers, so lots of PMs doing mentoring as mentor or mentee. But recently it seems that effect of mentoring is somehow hit the ceiling. We, the volunteer PMs have got together as SIG (Special Interest Group) to study "mentoring" thoroughly. In this study, we made a questionnaire survey for IBM PM' s mentoring. From this survey, we found that the mentoring in IBM is not what we had expected. Our expectation is that mentoring is transfer ones experience and competency through tacit way. Our proposal to resolve this problem is do mentoring by specific method for both "one to one mentoring" and "group mentoring".
