Unfortunately we follow the European and American concept of project management where they have the subject matter expertise readily available and PM skills are in addition those skills. taking granted the subject matter expertise. We out here talk PM skillls only devoid of subject matter expertise resulting in jack of all trades but matter of none. At least some one should know the complete job and actually this is missing. If we question ourselves

1) who is responsible for a particular subject matter.

2) Who is responsible for co-ordination among different areas.

Some of the above are taken for granted but actually it is not so. Germay and Japan do not follow much of PM principles unlike America and Britain but their skills in Project management are second to none.

Actually requirement of PM skills are directly proportional to lack of subject matter expertise availability. This PM skill can set off the lack of the expertise of subject matter to some extent but that capacity is not unlimited unfortunately.We are at a very dangerous cross junction when we desperately need to have subject matter experts rather than general managers in near future or we are driving to a disaster.
