Abstract

People have likened being a project manager to being one part professional bull fighter, one part air-traffic controller, one part toddler daycare director, and one part therapist. It’s a job that can be filled with enormous levels of stress, vast amounts of accountability, and often virtually no actual authority. Couple that with the need to make frightening decisions on a nearly daily basis, with limited (and sometimes inaccurate) information, while supporting a team that has as varied and diverse a set of needs as any group imaginable, and you begin to understand what a project manger goes through.
