Project Manager
2 days ago
A project manager is in charge of a specific number of projects within the organisation. All responsibility to ensure success within the organisation lies with the project manager. It includes planning, organising, budgeting, and reporting on the project once it is finished. One of the prominent roles of a project manager is to act as an intermediary between the senior management and the people executing the project on the ground.
**Requirements**:
- **Develop a big idea**: Many times, project managers are tasked with ideation and pitch an idea that will form the basis of the project.
- **Organise tasks**: Multiple tasks need to be carried out, and project managers need to allot tasks according to the available team and resources. You need to work with the team to figure out what needs to be done by whom and when.
- **Assemble the team**: Once you know the jobs and resources needed, you need to put together your team.
- **Engage the stakeholders**:This means working with upper management, clients, and everyone affected by the project to keep them updated on the project's progress and take their feedback.
- **Manage the budget**: There is a specific budget allotted to every project. The project manager needs to ensure that all the tasks can be carried out within the approved budget.
- **Lead the team**: Project managers are trained leaders. Through the course of the project, you need to coach, mentor, develop, and train the people who are working on the project with you.
- **Ensure a proper handover**: You are not the last part of the process. Once the project is completed, it needs to be handed over to the client and the team that will take the project forward and works on the output that you have delivered. Project managers need to ensure that all access permissions, open files, project usage rights, etc., are handed over appropriately to avoid any problems later.

**Skills Required to be a Project Manager**
The project manager is not an inherently technical role. To lead a project to success, you need to be skilled in a wide range of fields and tasks. This ranges from working knowledge of technology to individual team member roles, from marketing to construction to ideation. It is one of the most complex job roles, but it provides you with a platform to learn many new things, and the job never gets dull for too long.
Some skills every project manager should have:
- **Leadership skills**: As a project manager, you will be in charge of a diverse group of people working towards the same goal. From time to time, they will need your help to get back on track, motivate them, and determine the next course of action. Leading a team includes negotiating terms in case of disagreements and managing inter-team relationships successfully.
- **The ability to think ahead**: It is always more effective to be proactive than reactive. A great project manager is capable of predicting the challenges that lie ahead through the course of the project and dodging them successfully.
- **Communication skills**: Since a project manager is a common thread between your team members and the other stakeholders in the project, they need to have strong communication skills. It includes both written and spoken communication.
- **Money management skills**: Every project has to be completed on a limited budget. Project managers need to have an aptitude for managing money, from paying salaries to working large purchase orders to ensuring sufficient management reserves.
- **Writing skills**: Projects need to be documented and made into a presentation on completion to make data and results' interpretation easy for all stakeholders. Project managers need to have adequate writing skills that allow them to complete both these things.
**Benefits**
The project manager, a full-time position, is mostly office-bound. But there are some industries where there is a requirement for hands-on action at critical points of progress. There are deadlines to be met strictly, and emergencies that can require overtime.
The importance of project managers has led to several universities that offer a project management degree. However, beyond the academic route is a certification for those who want to jump straight into project manager roles across different industries.
