Background: Cloud Computing has already started to revolutionize of storing and accessing data. Although cloud computing is on its way to becoming a huge success, there are some challenges arise while managing the cloud. This indeed reveals many new knowledge areas, skills and consequently new challenges that need to be overcome so that software project managers can cope and make use of the new available cloud services. This research aims to identify the challenges faced by project managers in cloud computing and highlight the knowledge areas and skills needed to meet these challenges. Method: This paper presents its findings through three stages. First, the pre-survey questionnaire to validate skills and knowledge areas and it will be selected and eventually adopted for the main survey. Second, interviews with experts in the field to discuss challenges identified in the literature review also it will be adopted with the pre-survey to build the main survey. Third, the main survey to identify the critical skills and knowledge areas needed for managing cloud projects. Results: The study drew recommendations so that possible systems and tools can be developed and integrated to overcome some of these challenges. Which gives it the importance of providing guidance for the managers in the field to improve the performance of leading project successfully. Conclusion: The study leads to gain the understanding of the attributes of a competent cloud manager and it determines knowledge areas and skills to help them effectively in overcoming the challenges faced in software and cloud projects.
