Abstract
Ideal project manager is a critical factor for successful IS development. The purpose of this paper is to investigate the knowledge and skills requirement of IS project managers and to suggest ideas of a career path development for powerful IS project managers. From a previous research work, this paper was conducted to classify 6 domains-strategic management, business function, innovation, general management, personnel management, and technical expert- as knowledge and skills of IS project managers, and to generate IS project manager's career path which is developed through engineer, analyst and designer, planner, and project leader. The results provide a good framework to train and develop knowledge and skills of IS project mangers.
