The project manager is the person who ensures that aspects of the project are integrated and assumes hands-on responsibility for successes as well as failures.

The project manager manages these essential pieces of a project:

 Leadership: Documents the project vision in a charter. Facilitates negotiations, problem-solving, and decision-making activities.

 Scope: Defines and organizes all work to be done in order to meet the project objectives and create deliverables.

 Quality: Identifies, manages, and controls requirements. Establishes a process for quality management and control and ensures it is sufficient and followed.

 Schedule: Develops the schedule, by working with Project, including the tasks, relationships, duration, and timing involved to achieve the project objectives.

 Resources: Assigns resources and tracks their activities on the project as well as resolves resource conflicts and build consensus. Working with resources also involves managing physical resources such as materials and equipment.

 Cost: Estimates project costs and applies those estimates across the schedule to create a time-phased budget.

 Stakeholder Engagement: Notifies appropriate stakeholders (everyone who has a legitimate stake in its success) of the project status. Facilitates communication with internal and external stakeholders.

 Uncertainty: Establishes a system to identify, analyze, respond to, and track project risks and issues. Guides the team in working with uncertainty, ambiguity, complexity, and volatility.

Managing a project requires overseeing all its variables to ensure that the project goals are accomplished on time, within the limits of the budget, and using the assigned resources while also addressing risks, managing change, and satisfying stakeholders.
