What is an IT Project Manager?

IT Project Managers coordinate and direct various computer-related projects for companies. They are responsible for ensuring the project is completed on time and within budget, that the project's objectives are met and that staff do their job properly.


Projects are usually separate to usual day-to-day business activities and require a group of people to work together to achieve a set of specific objectives. Project Managers oversee the project to ensure the desired result is achieved and the most efficient resources are used.
