Agree with Keith, digital skill is part of technical.

Like communication is part of leadership.

I don't think that's the understanding of PMI or the organizations that participated in the Pulse the Profession 2019 study

Do you know what PMTQ is?

Quite intriguing as to what will happen with the growth of AI-ML, will digital skills really matter?

Dear Bipin
Thank you for participating in this reflection and for your question

It is exactly the AI, the role of AI in Project Management that PMI realized to add these digital skills to the Talent Triangle

Have you heard of PMTQ?

I understand what it means and have spent my career rapidly transitioning from one technology to another. Sometimes it's digital. Sometimes it's composite materials. Sometimes it's electronics systems. They're all technical. If PMI believes that "a person's ability to adapt, manage and integrate technology based on the needs of the organization or the project at hand." is limited to digital technology, they have an extremely myopic view of the world of PM.

I agree that 'digital skills" could be grouped under technical skills, but regardless, it is a growing issue. For example, within our organization, we are now only beginning to exploit some of the capabilities of our ERP system as it relates our projects. However, many PMs and their staff have been caught off guard by the rapid, almost explosive pace with which system can generate reports for senior management. The situation is such now that many projects d o not have the requisite skills sets to enter the required data. Now this is not entirely the fault of the PM, but more of an organizational issue, but as this progresses, I predict an exponential growth. As such, PMs need to be poised for the next wave of the digital transformation.

Dear Steve
Thank you for sharing this opinion with us

If a person is a project manager in the technology area, (internal and external) I understand that Digital Skills can be included in technical skills
But in the case of civil construction projects and the growing use of BIM, should it be included in technical skills?

Dear Keith
Now that I know you have read the content of the two links I shared, do you maintain the same opinion: "is limited to digital technology, they have an extremely myopic view of the world of PM"?

I would very much like to understand the reasons why you think that (I'm open-minded, completely available to read your opinion ... and curious to know that opinion :-))
