In this dynamic, ever-changing world, effective project managers keep up-to-date with their changing environment.
A new list of project management skills for 2021 produced by dpm, highlights changing requirements, some of which seem especially pertinent in light of the coronavirus pandemic.
Particularly striking from this list are the traits of “Tenacious”, “Adaptable” and “Decisive”. These qualities are especially apt considering how the world has changed over the last two years.
While hard skills seem to remain constant over time, the soft skills required to be a PM would appear to be constantly evolving. In particular, we note the inclusion of “Coaching” and “Diplomacy” on the softs skills list.
How do you think the project management skill set has changed over the past few years?
Would you recommend any additions to either this list or PM4NGOs’ PM competencies?
