This specialty position fulfills an increasingly important role in countless companies. With thousands of these positions currently being posted on major job-search sites left and right, it’s clear that project management is one of today’s fastest-growing professions.

A project manager’s role varies according to the industry and individual business, but at its heart, project management entails balancing a project’s timeframe, budget and overall scope as the team works together to meet its objectives. Project managers oversee the individual tasks that move a project forward toward completion, so its ultimate success or failure depends in large part on the project manager’s competency.

In companies where projects are frequently late, over budget or fail to meet their objective goal, hiring a skillful project manager can improve productivity and morale – and often leads to greater profitability for said company.
