Top 5 skills, good project managers

I've worked with and enables project managers over many years. Based on my own what I did or did not do well in my projects, and similar remarks about other projects in their project managers, I present my assessment of the top 5 skills, good project managers:

(1). Attention to the achievement of project objectives - in many types of projects, especially IT projects, it can be easy to get wrapped up in the details, technology and lose sight of the business objectives. The focus of the team and shifts the project to the target technology - for example, the construction of XYZ system - rather than the goal of solving the business problem. When this happens the resulting system may not meet all the company's expectations.

project manager and the team need a clear understanding of the objectives of the work before the detailed planning and work begins on the project. Then, the project manager needs to regularly remind about goals and how to work on the project related to those objectives.

(2). Attention to detail - perhaps more skill -cited managers of the project is the attention to detail, and rightfully so. Projects of any size and has hundreds of thousands of little details that need to be addressed in a timely and proper manner throughout the project period. This is the reason that senior managers were not able to ... projects are supposed to deal with the big picture, not the details.

and not the job of the project manager to deal with all the details, but it is the function of the project manager to remind the team or ask the team for the tasks the details of doing.

(3). This is , planning and implementation of the project, working day after day, week after week, the grunt of the project - contact and coordination with the team. This is done by the project manager works directly with the team to make it all happen ... communication and coordination on their activities, and the dependencies between activities, and amounts of time for activities to do, and issues that must be resolved, and so on and so on.

communication and coordination is the essence of the daily management of the project. It requires good organization and good people and verbal communication skills.

(4). Solving the problem and communications outside the team - solving the problem of the public is an important project manager skill because of the problems and barriers must be dealt with often. In most businesses, it usually means finding people outside the team, including the project manager or team must work with and to take appropriate steps to get a solution to the problem. The means to climb the management ladder of escalation of the problem and get the necessary attention, setting priorities, and resources directed toward the problem.

This set of special skills also includes communicating the situation regularly to the Board on the progress of the project and issues that could affect the results of work, schedule and budget, and so excellent people require communication skills verbal and written communication good skills as well as .

(5). Customer Relationship Management - in the business , it is important that the project manager to maintain a good working relationship with the customer, whether external or internal customer. Customer expectations management is an essential part of this - not in the way of manipulation, but relatively fair and open manner. The client needs to know what is realistic in product development and what is not, and customers always like to be informed about how the project is progressing and if you are, and project manager, and respond to the issues most efficient manner.

CRM also involves communicating with the administration - to keep them informed about the project issues, whether the client is happy and quiet or dissatisfied, it is likely the escalation. Like many others, this area of ​​performance requires clear that good people and communication skills too, as well as good management of issues, which is all about tracking and management of customer issues to the satisfaction of the customer.

Bottom Line: There are many skills that must be the project manager, but if he or she is not these five well, will be the likelihood of success with most of the projects are high.
