PM Skillset

I started as a core technical developer, then team lead and then was working as a project manager for various companies, in different domains and also had a IT firm of my own. To my knowledge and with the experience gained, I strongly agree that in order to successfully “Manage” the Project, it is fundamentally required to possess required project management skillsets, and is suffice to meet the requirements. I mean to emphasis the word “Management” here. So that, we know we manage and take the project in a way it is required to attain the goal.
PM if he/she could able to achieve the project objectives, it is then considered to be the job already accomplished. I had the way of thinking that the technical expertise of internal subject that being executed is required for a successful management, but later realized it was not the case, and it is not required also. A strong PM can align the way of execution or his planning based on different industries.
Any knowledge outside the management aspects and those called technical aspects, data, factors can be taken-up into consideration based on environmental factors and with the usage of SMEs. I’ve seen BAs and Technical Developers enter into to PM segment over a period of time, in this simple case, a BA doesn’t understand the coding aspect of the project but still he/she is able to manage the Project very well. This applies to any industry in general.
PMs can align the planning, management / execution based on different industries, we could also see some extensions from PMI that should help us achieve this. We all knew that we attain certain expertise on-job and same applies for fresh PM whatever path they take to reach this stage.
As long as PM possess strong project management skillsets to attain the “project objectives”, he/she can work on any industries and accomplish the job with little or no experience in the field.
