Managing a project requires the ability to develop and maintain a comprehensive plan, stay organized and manage multiple tasks at once. It encompasses the identification of goals and objectives, setting deadlines and milestones, determining what resources are necessary to complete the project, delegating roles and responsibilities to team members and ultimately making sure everything is completed on time, within budget and to the highest standards. In short, managing a project means following a structured process to ensure success. Managers should always strive for engagement with their team, creating an atmosphere that encourages communication, setting clear expectations and recognizing the efforts of all involved.
