What does a project manager do?

[rifat28dddd]

Project managers work in various fields - education, marketing, construction - but most often they are needed in IT . Since a project manager does not write code , he does not need to know programming languages . Because of this, there is an opinion that this is the most accessible specialty in IT and even humanities students can work here. However, this is not entirely true.

Nowadays, the boundaries between humanities and bangladesh telegram data physics are quite blurred. When you work in IT, you don’t have to be able to program like a developer, but you have to understand what specialists do, how their work is organized, how much time it takes. You also need to have a good understanding of the language they speak, because this is the basis of communication. I used to work in online education, in an education abroad agency, now I work in the IT department of a large media corporation. The smaller the company, the more you need to be able to do with your own hands. Because a project manager is the person who is responsible for the result. And if the team does not manage to finish the work on time, sometimes you need to step in and do everything yourself.

The specialist's responsibilities depend on the project, but most often a project in IT:

draws up a work plan: breaks the project down into subtasks and prioritizes them;
manages communications: briefs the customer, coordinates the project, conducts negotiations;

Responsible for money: ensures that the project does not go over budget;
manages document flow: prepares reports, collects analytics, signs contracts, etc.;
