Summary

In this chapter, you learned about the role of the project manager outside scheduling and budgeting, with the main focus being on people. This information is a vital stepping stone that can lead to you managing a project effectively based on the circumstances of the organization and your leadership skills as a project manager.

In the next chapter, you will put all this information to good use as you review Chapter 11, Risk Management. Nothing causes demotivation and conflict faster than threat events. When you have a well-motivated team and a project manager who is ethical, a servant leader, and knows how to work with the team for the best results, then tracking team performance becomes relatively easy – once you know what you are looking for in terms of performance, that is.
