Organizational and Planning
Organizational and planning skills are closely related and probably the most important, after communication skills, a project manager can possess. Organization takes on many forms. As project manager, you'll have project documentation, requirements information, memos, project reports, Personnel records, vendor quotes, contracts, and much more to track and be able to locate at a moment's notice. You will also have to organize meetings, put together teams, and perhaps manage and organize media release schedules, depending on your project.
Time management skills are closely related to organizational skills. It's difficult to stay organized without an understanding of how you're managing your time.
Planning is discussed extensively throughout. There isn't any aspect of project management that doesn't first involve planning. Planning skills go hand in hand with organizational skills. Combining these two with excellent communication skills is almost a sure guarantee of your success in the project management field. |
