Searching for a Shortcut to Quick Development of PM Skills in Japan

Abstract

Many studies are done on the project management education outside of Japan. And their successful results are shown every year. However, if we consider the modern project management penetration speed into Japan, and review the PM education background at schools, the results outside of Japan are not always effective in Japanese organizations. This paper identifies the patterns of successful project managers, reviews the PM education status in Japan, and tries to propose a shortcut to strengthening PM skills faster.
