Importance and need of ‘Soft Skills’ element and its equation with time and cost in Project Management
Introduction:
Project Management is generally considered as the utilization of time, cost and resources to complete the project and project management skills are generally taken as set of technical skills such as creating a Gant chart, work breakdown structure, finding critical path, resource allocation, risk management and splitting up a complex project etc. But In many cases, project managers generally ignore and overlook the importance of ‘soft skills’ or ‘people skills’ e.g. (influencing, communication, team management, delegating and motivating). As projects are run and delivered by people so people skills can make a huge difference to successful completion of a project.
