Setting a clear vision and mission
It's probably pretty easy to tell that there is a lot involved in being a project manager. I can tell you that after many years as a project manager, there are days when I question the sanity of my stakeholders and, quite frankly, my sanity. However, the beauty of being a project manager is that we can work with multiple different kinds of people, produce results, and mostly keep the entire ship sailing straight. It doesn't always work out like that, of course, but in a perfect world, we have all the best practices, tools, techniques, and the right attitude to get to the finishing line.
The role of the project manager includes doing the following:
- Managing the project team
- Solving problems
- Managing communication across multiple stakeholders
- The ability to collect the right requirements for the scope
- The ability to create and maintain a budget and a schedule
- The ability to identify, analyze, and remove threats...
