360 Feedback Questions for Project Managers
14 ready-to-use questions, example comments and tips — plus a free tool that runs the survey and writes the AI report for you.
Project managers lead without formal authority, so their effectiveness lives in how stakeholders and team members experience them. These questions cover delivery, communication and influence.
Planning and delivery
- How realistic are this person's project plans and estimates?
- How well do they identify and manage risks early?
- How effectively do they keep projects on schedule and budget?
- How well do they manage changes in scope?
Stakeholder management
- How clearly do they communicate project status to stakeholders?
- How well do they manage conflicting stakeholder priorities?
- How effectively do they escalate issues when needed?
- How well do they set and manage expectations?
Team leadership
- How well do they motivate a team they do not directly manage?
- How effectively do they run project meetings?
- How well do they support team members under pressure?
Open-ended questions
- What does this project manager do that makes projects run smoothly?
- What one change would most improve how they run projects?
- Describe a project moment where they made a real difference.
Example feedback comments
Good comments are specific, describe behaviour rather than personality, and explain the impact. A few examples:
Strength
“Her weekly status note is the only one leadership actually reads — short, honest about risks, and clear about what she needs from them.”
Growth area
“Scope changes are often accepted in the meeting and the impact on the timeline is only discussed later.”
