SYNOPSIS Project Management is more to do with managing people than with managing technology. Interestingly far more projects get into difficulties on quality standards, time lines or output criteria for “human” reasons than for “technology” reasons. The “Human Skills” in technical projects are often critical to success but not always recognized or developed systematically. Another and even better reason to focus on and develop the “Critical Human Skills” is for the potential they give for synergizing the strengths of team members and creating an atmosphere conducive to high quality output. Research shows that teams with no “Stars” but highly developed “Human Skills” are often more productive and satisfied, than teams with a lot of “Stars”.
