Project Management Role and Responsibilities
By Siraj Qureshi

To deliver a solution within project constraints, strong project management skills are essential. Project management is a process that combines a set of skills and techniques to address the following tasks:

• Integrate planning and conduct change control
• Define and manage the scope of the project
• Prepare a budget and manage costs
• Prepare and track schedules
• Ensure that the right resources are allocated to the project
• Manage contracts and vendors and procure project resources
• Facilitate team and external communications
• Facilitate the risk management process
• Document and monitor the team’s quality management process
• makes the final decision on the issue by transitioning into the role of decision leader to enable the project to continue.

Program management makes the decision with the goal of meeting the customer’s requirements and delivering the solution within the constraints. After the decision is made, the team returns to operating as a team of peers.
