Project Manager

The project manager is responsible for day-to-day management of the project and must be competent in managing the six aspects of a project, i.e. scope, schedule, finance, risk, quality and resources.

Project managers work on specific projects that have definite outcomes, have time limits and have to stay within a budget. These tasks typically include:

planning what work needs to be done, when and who’s going to do it;
looking at the risks involved in a particular project and managing these risks;
making sure the work is done to the right standard;
motivating the team of people involved in the project;
making sure the project is running on time and to budget;
dealing with changes to the project as and when necessary;
making sure the project delivers the expected outcomes and benefits;
