Project Management: Beyond the skillset list
From my point of view :
project management is an interconnected group of skills, not a bulleted skillset.
Leadership involves data analysis, organization, stakeholder communication and timeline management. Timeline management involves stakeholder communication, risk management, organization and trend analysis.
These lists are often incomplete. Intuition is crucial for identifying the problem, innovation and creativity for designing solutions and adaptability to make it happen.
My advice for creating a successful plan: Use a pencil.
