Abstract

Project managers' technical competences are crucial for achieving success in information systems (IS) projects. Several variables can influence the perceived importance of these competences, such as the project manager's education, training, experience, organisational context, among others. This paper aims to determine the most important technical competences of information systems project managers, as well as to identify the influencing variables. Results of our international web-based survey of IS project managers highlight the importance of competences like 'communication', 'project requirements and objectives', 'teamwork', 'interested parties (stakeholders)', and 'scope and deliverables'. Results also show the relevance of project managers' experience since it influences the perceived importance of 45% of the competences under study.
