Mastering Practical Skills to Deliver Successful Project Results
In today’s fast-paced world, many projects are led by functional experts who excel in their technical fields but lack formal project management training. Imagine a highly skilled Software Engineer, a master of coding, suddenly tasked with leading a new software development project aimed at business improvement. Despite their expertise, they may lack essential project management skills—such as budgeting, managing contractors, engaging stakeholders, or risk management. This gap often leads to delayed timelines, budget overruns, strained relationships with contractors, and frustrated teams.
These “Accidental Project Managers” work tirelessly yet face stress, poor project outcomes, and high turnover of talented team members due to the toxic work environment. Without essential project management skills—including both technical know-how and human relations skills—projects are bound to suffer. Research from the Project Management Institute (PMI) highlights the importance of these human relations or power skills, which are critical to sustainable project success. Yet, these vital skills are often overlooked.
