Abstract

The project management (PM) has always been an important subject among practitioners and in academia. The need for successful projects has increased the need for more effective project managers to guide projects to successful outcomes. This is particularly true in the field of computing as the need for capable teams and project managers are increasing to lead Information Technology (IT) projects. Therefore, the institutions of higher education are striving to meet the high demand and short supply of project managers by training and preparing future project managers. The high demand for skilled project managers has also inspired industries to pursue PM training and certification programs offered by the Project Management Institute (PMI). This research examines the perceptions of experienced professionals on the importance and skills contributing to effective PM.
