All of the project management knowledge areas consist of variety of different phases such as planning, monitoring, and ending the project. (Richman, 2006, pp. 13-15). Even though the approach and the methods of the traditional and agile project management frameworks are different, the same kind of project management knowledge is needed in order to succeed in projects. According to the FLUX report (2014, p. 5), leadership and management skills are the two most important qualities that HR decision-makers think need to be developed in employees to drive growth over the next five years. Next most important skills are as follow: interpersonal, innovation/creativity, resilience, technical, sales and client management skills.
