Project Management

There are important distinct differences between the project manager roles and Project Management. Let's address some of these variations right now. The central software project manager role involves strategic level thinking. This means that he or she is charged with instilling a sense of vision and direction for the project, managing members of the team, coordinating communications with managers throughout functional lines as required, delegating and supervising project sub-leads, coming up with communication venues, and steering the aforementioned items during the process of the project management duration.

Everything else can be thought to be project management support roles. These can be assigned not to the manager of the project, but to subordinates such as project leads, forecasters, project engineers, metrics specialists, and any number of other roles. The manager oversees the full approach.
