Abstract
This chapter explores the experience of being a project manager in strategic project organizing (SPO). It then considers that the technical competencies are the basis of task orientation of project managers as professionals during project delivery. Moreover, technical competencies are the principal source of routines used in project teaming. The chapter highlights the importance of having a realistic schedule to ensure the delivery of the project outputs at the desired future date and managing the budget to capture realistic costs while considering the outcome of risk assessments and response strategies. It also discusses how essential managing threats are due to the uncertainty surrounding the SPO.
