Abstract

The aim of this paper is to introduce an innovative framework that links a project manager’s (PM) soft skills to the rate of success of a given project. This framework would enable companies to measure the level of soft skills and competencies possessed by a candidate PM. The approach been adopted in this research work is to identify the core soft skills that would lead to the success of a project. The methodology comprised designing a survey questionnaire to determine important soft skills required by a project manager for the success of project. The data collected through the survey was then statistically analyzed using SPSS and Minitab in order to tune the proposed framework that would enable the selection of project managers in a more robust, well-informed manner. This work concentrated on oil and gas projects as its application domain.
