The success of your project will depend significantly on who you appoint as manager. Project management is not a science, it’s an art. When recruiting, people often make the mistake of primarily seeking a project manager with subject matter expertise whilst overlooking the actual key attributes of a successful manager. Project management is a discipline in it s own right, with transferable skills that can be applied regardless of the technical or business change in consideration.

There is no one size fits all to describe an effective project manager, but below are some key traits demonstrable by those capable of delivering project success:

► Proficient mix of technical and management skills;

► Strategic focus - plan projects based on their impact on the business;

► Foster a motivated project team through management by objectives and establishing individual accountability;

► Creatively deliver pragmatic solutions by building effective problem solving teams;

► Build robust relationships with stakeholders and partners by establishing trust and consistently demonstrating professional integrity - lead by example;

► Effective communication skills through all available mediums;
