A relevant literature review is conducted to summarize the PMs¡¯ competencies that lead to outstanding performance in projects. Then, this has been narrowed down to find out the PMs¡¯ competencies that influence the adoption and completion of SD projects. Considering the different views, the primary purpose of this exploration is to illustrate the PMs¡¯ competencies that have a positive impact on the achievement of SD projects in an integrative model. The investigation indicates that there are four main categories of PMs¡¯ competencies that influence the success of SD projects: project management skills, team management abilities, emotional intelligence skills, and formal skills. Hence, this study demonstrates a model inclusively for PMs to relate the found PMs¡¯ competencies to the successful implementation of SD projects. The model primarily explains that PMs who acquire the found competencies have a higher potential to achieve outstanding results in existing and future SD projects. %K Project Manager Competencies %K Sustainable Development %U http://www.scirp.org/journal/PaperInformation.aspx?PaperID=123565
