The Role of the Project Manager

The Project Manager, sometimes referred to as the Project Co-ordinator, is generally defined as the person who has the overall responsibility for the successful planning and execution of a project.  However, the roles and responsibilities can vary between different companies.

Essentially, a project manager is responsible for ensuring the successful delivery of the project aims.  To do this, he or she must have a sufficient level of authority to manage members of the project team, who may be drawn from different parts of the business, or from outside.  He or she must also have the authority, and possibly a budget, to request information or action from people outside the project team.
