Discuss the following:
Assuming that there is some consensus with the basic premise that most skills can be learnt, which would you expect to be the more productive task, if re-skilling Project Managers -
1) Teaching people management, team building and linking skills to a Project Manager with very good technical knowledge of the project field
OR
2) Teaching specific domain/IT skills to a Project Manager with very good people management, team building and linking skills?
Finally, if all other characteristics were uniform, which of the two types of individuals (1 or 2) would you predict would make the better I.T. Project Manager, after re-training?
