Data Driven Project Management
Every project, whether successful or not, teaches project managers and the entire project team valuable lessons for making the right decisions in the future. This makes it critical to understand what worked well and what did not in previous projects and to apply that knowledge to create a better course for your next project. There are multiple quantified measurements that can help us not only make more accurate predictions but also eliminate biases from the decision-making process.

While technical know-how might build the project's foundation, soft skills act as the binding force which keeps everything together and ensures smooth execution of a project. Even the most industry recognized qualification for project managers, the PMP® certification also emphasizes on the soft skills like critical thinking, conflict management, problem solving, decision making, emotional intelligence and leadership.
