About the role

A project manager makes sure a project delivers what was agreed, on time, within budget and at the right quality. Projects can be anything from launching a software system or a new office to running a marketing campaign or a factory upgrade. The project manager plans the work, organises people and resources, and keeps everyone moving in the same direction.

On a typical day you might run a stand-up, update the schedule, follow up on a delayed dependency, review a risk with the team, prepare a status report for the sponsor, or handle a change request from a client. You spend a lot of time communicating: asking questions, removing blockers and making sure decisions are recorded.

Good project managers adapt their approach to the project. They use predictive (waterfall) planning when requirements are stable, agile methods when they are not, and often a hybrid. They report honestly, manage trade-offs between scope, time and cost openly, and look after their team so it can work at a sustainable pace.
