A recent publication, Competencies

in Project Management, National

Competence Baseline for Scandinavia

(F angel, 2005), points in this direction;

according to its author, the competencies

of modern project managers are

now to be based on the intertwining of

leadership behavior, project management

experience, and competence in

traditional project management methods.

This new way of thinking is supported

by the IPMA Competence

Baseline v. 3 (2006), issued in June 2006,

which illustrates the necessary competences

of the modern project manager

by the innovative ªE ye of C ompetenceº

and where contextual, behavioral, and

technical competences are all represented.

This diagram has been an eyeopener

for the field.

Other standards, such as A Guide to

the Project Management Body of

Knowledge (PMBOK ! GuideÐThird

edition) (PMI, 2004) and IS O10006:2003

(International S tandards Organization,

2003 ), do certainly define project management

in terms of a coherent body of

knowledge; however, they seem to

reflect somewhat outdated viewpoints.

This is undesirable, as project management

as a discipline is, and should be,

dynamic and in a state of incessant

development. F or this reason also, the

question of what knowledge and skills

will be needed in the future for the project

manager to excel can probably

never be fully answered. The history of

project management points to an ongoing

maturation process, requiring our

answers to this important question to

be modified from one period to the

next. The objective of the present article,

however, is to answer this question

for the current period.

Many researchers have attempted to

define measurements to identify the

most crucial elements of project management

and have done so by analyzing

various sources of information. Z obel

and W earne (2000) analyzed the relative

frequency of attention to different project

management body of knowledge
