In today's challenging environment the job of project manager requires over and above the managerial task of reviewing performance. It requires necessary leadership skills to deal with the demands of meeting project timelines, keeping cost within budget and achieve required quality standard. The problem is exacerbated when it comes to EPC projects which are having least flexibility of time, Lump sum cost and usually requires higher quality. What competencies in this scenario may help the PM.

Quality - Quality management skills required for the project.

Time - Project planning and scheduling, CPM, Prioritization skills.

Cost - Cost analysis, Negotiation skills, Cost optimization

More than this, he should be a good peoples manager to take all the team members together to a unified goal of succeeding in the project.

I agree with Bakht Rawan. You cannot categorize the skills of a project manager that cost needs this skill quality needs that so on, all of this is interlinked in project management processes. So for each of the item a PM need all the skills at the same time

I suggest that this starts from the project's inception phase by defining clear goals and output specifications and approve the project charter by all concerned party. The planning phase should produce an effective practical plan with built-in risk mitigation tasks. The plan should be simple with one critical path (no more than two) and if that is not the case, split the mega project into smaller more manageable ones. Ensure effective selection of the team members at the planning phase.

For the execution phase, I see that the following skills are mandatory for a project manager to ensure execution within time and within budget:

- Effective communication with team members, project owners, & the customer (if from outside the company.

- Active tracking of project tasks and daily analysis of actual to plan and immediate actions to handle variences.

- Keep management aware of variences, corrective actions and their impact.

- Ensure management's continual support.

- Control the project scop and ensure that any approved changes scope includes replanning.

EPC projects require integrartion of Engineering (Design), Procurement (SCM & Logistics) & Construction (Civil & MEP). Such projects also carry along lots of risks on account of large scope of work, lot many stakeholders and complexities.

Hence Integration and Risk Management are two major Knowlege Areas which a project manager taking up EPC projects has to take up as major challenges.

Cost, Time & Quality in EPC projects are secondary challenges whcih can be monitored & controled in the execution phase of the project.
