In Chapter 2, it mentions about the requirement skills for project managers in 3 areas: Project Management, Business management and technical.Once the managers have these skills which are easy for managers to communicate clearly, calculate budget correctly and finally can finish the project in the time frame. Therefore, I truly agree what Eric's points in ch1 & 2.
