members is the highest priority of an
organization.
Learning about skills of project manager
A project manager is hired for a project based on their skills as well as knowledge which is
required into the project. Based on technical knowledge, broader project management skills,
a project manager is hired. The first step to hire a project manager is to identify crucial goals
of their role.
Based on my point of view, there are essential skills which should be in the project manager
so that the project gets success and completes on time.
Communication: The project manager spends 90 percent of their time on the
communication to deliver their messages, decisions to the project team members.
Leadership: The project manager should lead and deliver the entire project work so that t
can complete on time and there is no such possibility of missing of deadline.
Team management: Apart from leading the project based on strategic perspective, the
project manager is required to manage the work from the operational point of view. The
project manager coordinates the group of teams by promoting teamwork, resolving of
project conflicts as well as evaluating the performance.
Negotiation: There are negotiation of resources, budget, schedule and creep of scope.
