Las empresas constructoras se están enfocando en garantizar que los gerentes de proyectos adquieran las competencias principales que necesitan para tener éxito en sus labores. Una empresa puede maximizar sus probabilidades de éxito permanente en sus proyectos mediante la contratación, el desarrollo, la formación y la retención de gerentes de proyectos capacitados. Al trabajar en estrecha colaboración con una variedad de otros profesionales, los gerentes de proyecto organizan, planifican, programan y controlan el trabajo y son responsables de garantizar que el proyecto se complete dentro de los límites de tiempo y costos establecidos. Para gestionar el proyecto de forma profesional y exitosa, un director de proyecto debe poseer las habilidades y conocimientos necesarios. Se llevó a cabo una evaluación exhaustiva sobre las habilidades esenciales y relevantes de los directores de proyectos con el fin de analizar las habilidades más importantes. Las últimas décadas han producido una serie de investigaciones sobre la correlación entre las competencias de los directores de proyectos y el éxito de los mismos. Como resultado, las listas de competencias se han vuelto demasiado extensas y el campo está en constante cambio; por lo tanto, este estudio actualiza la discusión y reduce el número de competencias a menos elementos y más relevantes. Las capacidades de comunicación son una necesidad para que un director de proyecto sea lo más eficaz posible. La capacidad de liderar el equipo, resolver problemas y manejar conflictos, al mismo tiempo que estar orientado a resultados y al equipo, es imprescindible para los gerentes de proyectos. Para lograr los objetivos del proyecto, un gerente de proyecto necesita una variedad de habilidades adicionales, que incluyen organización, inteligencia emocional, experiencia técnica y habilidades para las relaciones interpersonales.
