Abstract

Abstract The level of technical knowledge and skills of project managers shows a high differentiation, which has an impact on the management of (non)investment projects in the given region, regardless of the sector area such as agriculture, entrepreneurship or services. This paper aims to confirm that the level of technical knowledge and skills of project managers is highly differentiated in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic and to identify the knowledge areas that are affected by the ignorance in this region the most. The research has shown that the management knowledge areas most affected by ignorance in the South Moravian Region of the Czech Republic are namely Scope management, Quality management and Communication management. These findings show a high level of differentiation in the knowledge and skills of project managers on the regional level, having direct impact on public and private projects in the given region. Due to this issue, there should be established certain standards for project management, which can be demanded by central authorities.
