HUMOR IN PROJECT MANAGEMENT 

  Humor literature suggests that using or promoting humor during working time can have positive effects. Since projects represent important cost and revenue drivers for companies, it is relevant to understand the impact that humor has on projects. To conduct the analysis, projects have been studied along the main factors that affect their performance. Thus, the distinction between soft and hard skills has been used. Based on the existing humor literature, it has been found that both soft and hard skills benefit from humor and, as a result, a project as a whole.
