Abstract

This article aims to provide insights into the importance of managers' skills in project management success and a lack of emphasis in this area within university education. In this talk, many prominent writers will discuss the human or "soft" skills needed in project management. Against this background, a review of how to equip project management literature and university education with potential project managers in the field of human skills will be conducted.
. As the PMBOK guide is the most important of the texts offered in project management training, this article will highlight that "hard (technical)" skills emphasize the need for cost in "soft" skills. The following discussion illustrates the need for a balance between hard and soft skills in project management training in universities. The result suggests that teachers in this field should recognize the importance of incorporating more human skills aspects into their curricula.
