SUMMARY

In the last three chapters, we have discussed the three primary skill areas of the project manager: leadership, technology, and administration. It is quite a challenge to develop all of them. The good news is that these skills do not have to be developed all at once. The bad news is that these last three chapters have simply introduced you to the subjects.

In this chapter, we discussed some key administrative skills. The last three skills require knowledge of basic project planning, scheduling, and control. (They will be the main thrust of the chapters that follow, as well as in PM 102.)
