Job Purpose:

A project can begin and certainly is designed to fail if there first wasn’t a plan devised to see it through, on time and within budget. The project manager’s first role is to make a feasible plan that achieves the goals and objectives of the project and aligns with the organization’s overall business strategy. This involves creating a project schedule, securing the resources, and defining the project goals, among many other things.

Duties & Responsibilities: 
Assembling and Leading a Project Team
Project managers need resources to complete the project tasks, which include skilled and experienced team members. A project manager either takes a leadership role with an existing project team or creates one. Once a team is created, you need to create a project schedule to assign them tasks and deadlines, give them the tools to collaborate, and don’t get in their way by micromanaging every activity. Meet regularly, of course, and get status updates to chart their progress while reallocating resources as needed to avoid blocking team members or overburdening them.

Time Management
Time is always ticking towards the project deadline. While communication is key to addressing changes and making sure everyone is doing what they need to do, the project manager must also define, schedule, and accurately estimate the task duration to develop and maintain a realistic project schedule.

Resource Management
Nothing is going to get done without money. Figuring out what the proper funding for the project is, having that get accepted, and then keeping the project within or under budget is often what makes or breaks a project. You can get your stakeholder their deliverables on time, but if that cost more than the budget you created, then the project is a failure.

Stakeholder Management
You want to deliver to your stakeholders what they expected or better and make sure that they’re satisfied with the results. But that doesn’t mean ignoring them to focus solely on the project. Rather, you need to constantly communicate with them, report on progress, and be open to their feedback to keep them happy and coming back to you with future projects.

Risk Management
Problems will inevitably arise in a project. That’s called an issue. You need to be ready for them and work towards resolving them quickly, so they don’t take your project off track. Then there are risks, which are potential problems, ones that have yet to occur or might not ever. Regardless, you must figure out beforehand what the risks are and set in place a plan of action if they occur.

Monitoring Progress
To make sure a project is progressing as planned, you must constantly measure it and compare those metrics against the plan you created. Therefore, you must have a way to collect project data, such as status reports from your team, to see if the actual progress of the project is meeting what you had initially planned.

Reporting and Documentation
Reporting is one of the ways you communicate with your team and stakeholders. While teams need more detailed information and stakeholders are looking for broader data to check the project’s progress, both are essential tasks for the project manager. This documentation, along with all paperwork, must be collected, signed off on, and archived by the end of a project, which provides a history that you can revisit when planning for a similar project in the future.
