Companies succeed or fail based on their ability to bring quality products and services to market in a timely manner. Without skilled project managers in place, companies are challenged to deliver projects on time, on budget, and according to specifications. From inception to completion, project managers are responsible for every step in the process: project definition, cost and risk estimations, scheduled planning and monitoring, budget management, negotiation and conflict resolution, project leadership, and project presentation and evaluation.
