I agree with most of the participants in these posts on what should be an ideal project team consists of. If I were to be a project manager, communication skills is the number one skill I would look for. Also with communication skills is teamwork, and area of expertise is different areas of the industry.

Communication skill is important to carry out a successful project. It’s so essential that if team is not communicating well or a problem arises, the entire project could end up in a loss wasting time and money. Also, with communication, comes leadership. A successful project manager must be able to provide leadership and correct guidelines to meet the customer needs and the strategic goals of the business.

Technical knowledge is the area of project is really important. Also known as the Subject Matter Expert (SME). He or she helps the team with knowledge in the area that the project in related to. SME’s also helps the executive people during audits if they require assistance.

All in all, project manager must be able to provide the correct assistance to his or her team and motivate the team on getting the project done accurately and efficiently.
