What makes an IT Project Manager successful in the real world?
Wayne Botha at SNEC-PMI
I presented the results of my study into "What makes an IT Project Manager successful?" at SNEC-PMI this week. These are expanded on, and augmented in "Beyond The Certification."

1. Get a mentor.
2. Take the offensive. Take the lead.
3. Communicate proactively, consistently.
4. Understand the business drivers.
5. Problem solving. Learn how to do it, and market it.
6. Have network to call on.
7. Show me your scars.
8. Victors, not victims.
