A project manager is a professional in the field of project management. They have the responsibility of the planning and execution of any project relating to construction industry, architecture or software development. Many other fields in the production, design and service industries also have project managers.

A project manager's only duty is to ensure the success of a project by minimizing risk throughout the lifetime of the project. This is done through a variety of methods, both formal and informal. A project manager will usually have to ask penetrating questions, detect unstated assumptions, and resolve interpersonal conflicts, as well as use more systematic management skills.

 

Risk

Most of the project management issues that impact a project arise from risk, which in turn arises from uncertainty. The successful project manager is one who focuses on this as their main concern. A successful project manager reduces risk significantly, often by adhering to a policy of open communication, ensuring that every significant participant has an opportunity to express opinions and concerns.

It follows from the above that the project manager is one who is responsible for making decisions both small and large, in such a way that risk is controlled and uncertainty minimized. Every decision made by the project manager should be taken in such a way that it directly benefits the project.
