Abstract
All multimedia project managers strive to have projects delivered on time, on budget and to the required quality. In the quest to achieve this success, much research has been performed and literature written about project management techniques to enhance in this process. Increasingly however, it is being recognised by both employers and researchers that project managers not only need administrative and management skills, but also other skills, which are related to their management style and emotional intelligence. This paper investigates the range of skills needed by a project manager immersed in a multimedia development environment, and are classified in a continuum from "visible" to "invisible". These are compared and contrasted to consider the impact of emotional intelligence on the overall project success, including the team synergy.
