| Abstract: | The use of project management has established itself as an integral strategy for businesses to develop and deliver successful projects. A project manager’s performance towards the roles and responsibilities bestowed on him and the success of project management practices is heavily influenced by their competencies. Therefore, the objective of this research is to investigate the core roles and responsibilities undertaken by the project manager and the necessary competencies that a manager must display to perform their core managerial responsibilities. Moreover, there is a gap in the current literature regarding the application of the managers competencies in multidisciplinary project teams. Therefore, this research follows the objective in the context of multidisciplinary project teams and answers the research question that investigates the responsibilities and relevant competencies of a project manager when managing multidisciplinary project teams. The question is answered through the implementation of a systematic literature review accompanied by expert interviews given by project managers to link theoretical as well as practical insights. Through the study conducted, this paper highlights the findings that show the principal competencies that are required by the project manager in multidisciplinary teams, and the paper also contributes to the understanding of what kind of project managers should organizations aim to train and hire, as well as what kinds of skillsets and competencies should the future project manager develop to be useful to organizations. |
