What is a project manager particularly a project manager for a healthcare company and what do they do?
In: Other
A project manager is somebody who is responsible for overseeing all parts of a specific project to ensure it’s completed.
So, say you’re building a house. It takes a lot of people, plumbers, framers, electricians, flooring, drywallers, painters, etc. Who manages when they come? Ensures people aren’t duplicating work? Makes sure everything is done in the right order? In construction, it’d be somebody like a general contractor, they manage the build and ensure the house gets done with all the moving parts.
In business, it’s a PM. Could be for software, development of a project, creation of content, etc. They coordinate with people who are working in different areas to ensure everything gets done correctly. And typically, they make sure it’s on budget and on-time.
It can sound like it’s not needed, but it’s very important, especially for large projects. A bad one can screw up a project and a good one is worth their weight in gold.
