What Is Project Management?

Project management is the process of leading a team of people to complete a particular task, with the objective of meeting a set of constraints. The project information is typically captured in project documentation that is created at the start of the development process. The constraints are divided into three primary categories: time, budget, and scope. The secondary category deals with optimizing inputs.

What does a project manager do?

While it may seem like a simple task, there are a lot of moving parts that go into a project. One of the most important parts of a project is the plan. It outlines how it will proceed. For instance, in architecture, a project plan starts with an idea, moves from sketches to blueprint drafting, and so on. This means there are literally thousands of pieces to the puzzle. While the architect is one piece of the puzzle, the project manager puts them all together. Many industries rely on project managers to meet the needs of their clients.

What makes a good project manager?

A good project manager is someone who emphasizes people, while integrating the other two factors (time and budget) into the process. They will never allow the spirits of their team to drop. These managers are excellent listeners who provide sound advice. They believe in continuous communication and smooth collaboration between team members. They also understand how to lift morale. A supportive project manager is a team player who will do anything in his power to build trust and respect among teammates. This discipline is commonly associated with healthcare, engineering, construction and information technology.
