For reference, I’ve been asked to target the following skill set when looking for a PM:

Also, we do not need to have a Guidewire person per se – but workers’ comp experience.

• MS Project
• Project Planning “planning” –overall project planning
• Risk/Issue Management
• Status reporting –
• Project budgeting
• Milestone delivery –milestone delivery from an overall plan perspective
• Change orders
• Change requests

While PMP certification is not required it is highly beneficial. Someone pretty much needs to hit all of these.

Please let me know your thoughts.
