The title 'Project Manager' is used loosely; asking 10 people for a definition will yield 10 different answers.
A Project Manager is responsible for getting something done; that "something" comes in the form of a project... a term that also has many definitions.
A project is the process of creating something new -- something that did not exist before -- that people find useful and valuable. Examples include...
Building a new house.
Designing a new manufacturing process.
Researching a new salt water desalination process.
Writing a new book describing how to raise children to be happy, successful adults.
Project Managers play the important role of getting things done. Project Managers are the agents of change. Project Managers deliver PROGRESS.

About The PROJECT MANIFESTO
Have you ever been asked to run a project, but didn’t know where to start?
Have you ever struggled to keep track of the many moving parts of a project?
Have you ever struggled to keep your project on track?
Only a few years ago, people tracked their projects with paper notepads and hand-drawn timelines; now we have easy-to-use software tools to help us plan, track, share, and automate… with industry best practices built-in.
It’s a shame that so many projects blow their timelines and budgets… in a world where we have so much knowledge and so many tools to make our work easier.
The PROJECT MANIFESTO presents 12 principles that you can adopt immediately to make noticeable improvements in your projects, as well as four recommended areas of skill development for long-term success in your career.
