What is Project Management: The Project Manager is responsible for the success or failure of a project. Typical responsibilities of a project manager include: Creating Projects Plans, Executing, Delivering, Closing Projects and managing the budget throughout the process. Project management is important because it ensures proper expectations are set around what can be delivered, by when, and for how much. Effective project managers should be able to negotiate reasonable and achievable deadlines and milestones across stakeholders, teams, and management.
