- Abstract
Soft skills for the Project Manager have been traditionally identified as a set of cross-cutting skills that should complement the core job of establishing and maintaining reasonable tradeoffs among the elements of the traditional project management "iron triangle". But there is more: the project manager needs to extend its integrative role also to a "hidden pyramid" where "soft factors" like motivation, socialization and attitudes are managed into a constrained environment between themselves and with the traditional "hard factors", like scope, time, cost and quality. Project management can rely upon tools for dealing with "hard factors": scope, time, cost and quality can be quantitatively defined and measured. But, what about "soft factors"? This paper presents the result of an extended research effort aiming to identify a model for "soft factors", including taxonomies and proxies representing their qualitative/quantitative values. This model can be put in place in any context where the integrative project management effort is extended to the "hidden pyramid".
