The key factor to project success is the project manager’s competencies, as their knowledge, skills, and experience are largely responsible for the effective and efficient implementation of project activities. There is a wealth of research in the literature on the factors of project success and failure. Meanwhile, project management associations such as the Project Management Institute (PMI) and the International Project Management Association (IPMA) have developed competency frameworks for project managers that enable the assessment of their knowledge and skills. However, there is a lack of research on the impact of individual competencies on project success, especially in Polish companies. Therefore, this article presents the results of a survey that was conducted to address the research problem: What is the impact of project manager competencies on project success in Polish companies? The study was conducted in the form of an online survey. The results of the study indicate that behavioural competencies are the most important according to the respondents in the context of project success.
