Soft Skills and Emotional Intelligence
Project management is much more than handling deadlines, budgets, tasks and scope. Managers must focus on managing people (stakeholders, clients and employees) to yield better results. Zucker had this advice to share:
Organizations often make the mistake of buying project management systems, hoping it will improve their project outcomes. It is important to remember that software enables the process. It does not create it.
The first step should be to define a set of repeatable processes that fit your business needs and context. Execute these processes using your existing tools. Identify and implement ways of improving the process. Then research software that meets those needs.”

Currently, there are many project management system options, from large-enterprise tools to single-user and everything in between. Many online collaboration tools have become popular in the past few years. Select a tool that fits your needs, is compatible with your operating environment, and provides some room to grow.”+
