Project manager - Overview

1 The term and title 'project manager' has come to be used generically to describe

anyone given responsibility to complete a project. However, it is more properly used to describe a person with full responsibility and

the same level of authority required to complete a project. If a person does not

have high levels of both responsibility and authority then they are better described as a project administrator, coordinator, facilitator

or expeditor.

benefits, and restricts costs.https://store.theartofservice.com/the-project-manager-toolkit.html
