Job Duties

Project Managers apply a wide range of specialized knowledge, skills, tools, and techniques to direct and coordinate human and material resources at all phases of a project-origination, initiation, planning, execution and control, and closeout. A project is a temporary effort with defined objectives and results undertaken to develop, modify, or enhance a product, service or system; it has a specific beginning and end date. Project Managers balance competing demands and mitigate risks to ensure the delivery of an acceptable product to stakeholders and the project sponsor that is within budget, scope, time and quality standards.

Project Managers may be assigned to a Project Management Office or to a program area that has a continuing need for project management skills. In either assignment, the depth and breadth of skills and knowledge, and the duties performed, are comparable. Project Mangers perform tasks across all nine project management knowledge areas - project integration, scope, time, cost, quality, human resources, communications, procurement and risk. Each knowledge area includes a grouping of skills and abilities, all of which are necessary to successfully guide various activities of a project. A Project Manager must understand, identify and apply project management tools and techniques appropriate to each project phase and across the nine knowledge areas.

Project Managers 4 are distinguished by the depth and breadth of the knowledge areas that they must apply to successfully manage a project or portfolio of projects. The complexity of a project is determined by project scope, risk exposure, span of control, diversity of skill-sets and capabilities, and other factors such as the size of the project's budget, number of team members, and their skill level.
