Organizations create projects to produce desired results under set timeframes and specified resources. Therefore, businesses are increasingly driven to identify people who can lead projects in their organizations.The project manager is the person accountable for the project's success.

The project manager's success requires a keen ability to identify and resolve sensitive organizational and interpersonal issues.
