It is commonly seen that organizations promote their technical experts as Project Managers considering the skills which made them stars in their technical field, are mistakenly thought to translate into project management skills. This is a BIG MISTAKE which can turn a project manager to PROJECT DAMAGER.
Project Managers are people with different skills, they are problem solvers wearing many hats. Project Managers may possess technical skills but it is not a prerequisite for sound project management skills. A few technical skills experts in the project can be sufficient on which the project manager can rely.
The actual job of project managers is to integrate all the knowledge areas and processes on their projects. Some of the key skills a project manager should have are
1. Communication skills.
2. Organizational and Planning Skills.
3. Budgeting Skills.
4. Conflict Management Skills
5. Negotiation and Influencing Skills.
