  Project Manager
  - A project manager is a professional in the field of project management.
  
  - They have the responsibility of planning, execution and closing of any project, typically relating to construction industry, architecture, aerospace and defence, computer networking, telecommunications or software development.
  
  - Many other fields in the production, design and service industries also have project managers.
  
  - A project manager is the person responsible for accomplishing the stated project objectives.
  
  - Key project management responsibilities include creating clear and attainable project objectives, building the project requirements, and managing the constraints of the project management triangle, which are cost, time, scope, and quality.
  
  - A project manager is often a client representative and has to determine and implement the exact needs of the client, based on knowledge of the firm they are representing.
  
  - A project manager is the bridging gap between the production team and client. So he/she must have a fair knowledge of the industry they are in so that they are capable of understanding and discussing the problems with either party.
  
  - The ability to adapt to the various internal procedures of the contracting party, and to form close links with the nominated representatives, is essential in ensuring that the key issues of cost, time, quality and above all, client satisfaction, can be realized.
  
  - The term and title 'project manager' has come to be used generically to describe anyone given responsibility to complete a project.
  
  - However, it is more properly used to describe a person with full responsibility and the same level of authority required to complete a project.
  
  - If a person does not have high levels of both responsibility and authority then they are better described as a project administrator, coordinator, facilitator or expeditor.
