What Does a Project Manager Do?
A project manager keeps work on track — defining scope and timelines, coordinating people, managing risks and budgets, and communicating progress to stakeholders. Unlike a product manager, the focus is on delivery: getting a defined piece of work done well and on schedule.
Coordinating distributed teams is exactly what the role trains for, so project management adapts naturally to remote work.
Key skills
- Planning & scheduling
- Risk & budget management
