Project Manager 2

Position Description: 
Project management is the discipline of planning, organizing, securing, managing, leading, and controlling resources to achieve specific goals.  A project is a temporary business activity with a clearly defined beginning and end, and undertaken to meet the specified goals and objectives of a Client Agency.  Often, projects require the same management skills as ongoing operations, such as human resource and financial management, the need for clear and effective communications, strong team building, as well as the ability to effectively analyze, synthesize, estimate, and sequence the required work activities.  However, project managers are expected to perform similar activities, but under a fixed and often aggressive timeframe.  The project manager relies on their managerial experience and skills coupled with a competency in project management principles, best practices, methods and tools to achieve success.
