What Does Project Management Involve?

Project management involves the use of processes and resources to meet certain project objectives within a given timeframe. Project managers, therefore, are responsible for making sure that projects are carried out successfully – both on time and within the scope of the available resources.

The tasks and responsibilities of a project manager may include:

Planning a project from start to finish.
Identifying the resources required for implementing the project.
Drawing up and managing the project budget.
Establishing the project timeline.
Managing the project team.
Negotiating and contracting with external service providers.
Assessing and managing risks relating to the project.
Performing quality assurance in relation to all aspects of the project.
Reporting to the relevant stakeholders.
Evaluating the project upon completion.

Where Do Project Managers Work?

Project managers can work for project management firms, or they can work as in-house project managers for organisations. Alternatively, they can work as freelancers. Even though some industries, such as construction and IT, are more project intensive than others, project managers are able to find work in all industries.

Project management is important because it enables organisations to implement projects more successfully. By hiring professional project managers to oversee major projects, organisations are more likely to complete projects on time, within budget, and to the desired quality. They are also less likely to be affected by scope creep. (Scope creep is when the scope of a project gradually increases during the course of a project, often due to lack of planning and/or proper management throughout the course of the project).

Organisations can benefit from professional project management in the following ways:

More efficient use of resources
Minimisation of project risks
Improved change management

As you can see from the above, project management has an important role to play in the successful completion of projects in any environment.

Here are a few examples of the different types of project management positions that you might come across in practice:

Business Project Manager
Construction Project Manager
Financial Project Manager
Healthcare Project Manager
IT Project Manager
Project Management Consultant
Project Risk Manager
Technical Project Manager

You often have to complete a number of professional certifications, once you start working, to qualify as a specialist in these fields. Your industry-specific work experience will also be taken into account when you apply for positions that require industry knowledge and industry-related technical skills.

What Skills Do You Need To Work As A Project Manager?

To work as a project manager, you will need the relevant technical knowledge and skills to implement a project in a particular industry. If you want to work as a construction project manager, for example, you will need sound knowledge of building regulations, contract administration, and general construction principles.

Here are a few examples of the different types of project management positions that you might come across in practice:

Written and verbal communication skills
Numeracy skills
Organisational skills
Leaderships skills
Strategic thinking skills
Problem solving skills
Time management skills
Conflict management skills
Flexibility and adaptability
