Book excerpt: A project manager's success depends on his or her mastery of many skills--both hard skills as well as soft skills. In today's business environment, are these skills enough? Are you dispensable or indispensable? Are you agile enough to adapt to significant demands, changing business environments, and external pressures? Do you only execute orders or do you provide value beyond what is expected? Are you called on because you can execute a plan or because you can create value out of complex situations? Become indispensable as a project manager by raising your agility intelligence through the seven habits shared in this paper. These habits should be embraced by the agile-minded professional project manager. The paper begins with a comparison between a traditional project manager and an agile project manager. It supports the premise that today's project manager must not only excel in hard and soft skills but also must be agile-minded to become indispensible. The paper is organized around these seven habits: (1) question everything; (2) relate to innovate; (3) fail your way to success; (4) communicate thoughts and ideas; (5) deliver value frequently; (6) change incrementally; and (7) connect with your purpose.
