Key skills every project manager needs

Project managers make sure everyone is on the same page, and initiatives
are completed on time. They keep tasks on track, allocate and manage
resources, and act as a central point of communication for stakeholders.
Here are a few skills every project manager needs to be successful in their
role:

 Leadership: Effective leadership inspires team members, sets clear


direction, and motivates everyone to achieve project goals. You can
build leadership skills through Atlassian’s Team Playbook, which offers
exercises for building trust and alignment within teams.
 Communication: Strong communication ensures all stakeholders are
informed, aligned, and engaged throughout the project lifecycle.
Essentially, with a good project manager, no one feels out of the loop.
Project managers can communicate clearly using Confluence for
documentation and Jira for task updates.
 Time management: Efficient time management keeps projects on
schedule and helps balance multiple priorities. Use Jira’s time tracking
features and Gantt chart template to manage tasks and deadlines.
 Problem-solving: Quick and effective problem-solving helps
overcome obstacles and keep projects moving forward. Use
Atlassian’s 5 Whys template in Confluence to analyze and solve
complex problems.
 Technical proficiency: Understanding relevant technologies helps
make better decisions and communicate with technical team
members. Stay updated with Atlassian’s product tutorials and webinars
to enhance your technical skills in project management software.
 Adaptability: Flexibility helps project managers and teams
understand and execute changing project requirements and manage
unexpected challenges. Practice agile methodologies using Jira’s
Scrum and Kanban boards to improve adaptability in project
management.
 Budgeting and cost control: Managing project finances ensures that
the project stays within budget constraints. Use Jira’s reporting
features to track project costs and avoid going over budget.
