A project manager is responsible for leading their project team to the successful completion of a project. To do this, they clarify the goals and the project assignment, create a project structure plan (if necessary), and plan deadlines and milestones. Then, they distribute and coordinate tasks within the project team.
They monitor progress and ensure that the project adheres to the set timelines, budgets, and requirements. They also expertly utilize soft skills such as team leadership, self-management, social skills, and stress management. Productive communication with team members and other stakeholders is also an important task for project managers.
They report to management on the project status and request resources from team or resource managers. Project managers also take care of resolving any conflicts or complications that come up. By promptly informing stakeholders of changes, they can ensure the availability of necessary resources.
