Project Management-What is it?

Project management is the planning, organizing, motivating, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals. A project has a defined beginning and end. Projects are usually time-constrained, and often constrained by funding or deliverables. The temporary nature of projects stands in contrast with business as usual (or operations) which are repetitive, permanent activities designed to produce products or services. In practice, the management of these two systems is often quite different, and as such requires the development of distinct technical skills and management strategies.

Career Opportunities-What can I do with a Certificate in Program Management?

A project manager is a professional in the field of project management. Project managers have the responsibility for planning, execution, and closing of any project, typically relating to construction industry, engineering, architecture, computing, and telecommunications. Many other fields in production engineering and design engineering and heavy industry have project managers.

A project manager is the person accountable for accomplishing the stated project objectives. Key project management responsibilities include creating clear and attainable project objectives, building the project requirements, and managing the triple constraint for projects, which is cost, time, and scope.

Potential employers include: Project managers (PMs) are key employees in such industries as construction, engineering, architecture, manufacturing, and real estate development. Many opportunities for project managers exist in high tech, biotech, or pharmaceutical companies. For example, project managers are responsible for launching new products, developing new technologies, and managing alliance programs with strategic partners. Large corporations such as insurance companies and banks may also hire project managers to manage the implementation of new standards or practices in their many branch offices. Internet companies often look for project managers to oversee site launches or the development of new applications.
