I cover some of this in a blog post, http://rfrancescato.wordpress.com/2010/06/05/only-connect/. I would love to hear other project managers' thoughts on what are the most important skills and abilities for the job.

The greatest project manager is (and that's my opinion), General Patton (I think I've read an article on PM HUT about him).

They marry that innate ability to work with people and a good understanding of PM techniques and often specific technical expertise, to move projects and programmes forward to successful completion. Unless all three are present : 1. People Skills 2. Technical Expertise (scope context) 3. PM Expertise it becomes much harder to deliver a successful project. Great post.

Unless all three are present :

1. People Skills
2. Technical Expertise (scope context)
3. PM Expertise

it becomes much harder to deliver a successful project.

Great post.
