One of my Manager said : "now you are as an architect and will be on the track of project management. All of your technical competencies are not the matter to be measured on the next year".
What??!.. This is not the way I am think about as being an Architect - which has different path with project management.. architectural is all about arts with technical foundation that never stop and passionated in researches and developments. Whilst the project management is all about managing the projects.
But, if we've required to left the technical competencies? ...thats not as an architect anymore...
So being an architect must know the project management behaviour but being in project management not required to know anything about architectural even technical. As long as he/she good in managing people, he/she will be a good in project managements.
But, seems the competency need to do that way.
I know that every company would have try to find the most effective way having as much as possible people which good in architectural or technical and good in project management. Some people can do that and that's challanging.
Hmm.. let me try my best..
