The Functions Carried Out By A Project Manager

A project manager is a professional responsible for executing and planning a project. A business achieves success with an effort made by all the employees. The project managers have to take the orders from the line or staff managers. They have a direct access to the managers, they lead their team to give effective results to the managers.

The project managers are responsible for carrying out the planning process. They have to plan how the project has to be completed. They set deadlines for the team members. The project managers are asked to make a team that is capable of completing tasks. The time it takes for a project to complete varies from type to type. Some projects can be completed in a few days time, it depends on what the task is. The project managers get a deadline from their superiors and they pass another deadline to the team members. They are leading a team and they are answerable for everything done by the team. If they get the deadline of 18 days, they will ask their team to complete the task in 16 or 17 days to avoid any problems and make any changes if necessary.

The project managers also manage the time. They know that they need to complete everything on time. So they manage the time by organizing the tasks. They split the project into small tasks, this leads to specialization. If an employee is from the research and development department then he will be handling the research process so on and so forth. The project managers check the skills of the team members and assign them tasks accordingly. All the employees get a deadline to complete their tasks, which is then combined into a proper project by the project manager. The project manager defines what the task is, gives the sequence to the employees, estimates how long it will take to complete each task of the project, develops a schedule and finally maintains it to finish everything on time.
