Project management skills are hugely desirable for managers at all levels of an organization. Most people today can benefit from the application of these skills to some areas of their daily operations. From large undertakings, such as the Channel Tunnel or North Sea oil rigs, to the unique but smaller projects that take place in every type of organization, special skills are required if project management is to produce the right results.
