Talk with the blonde. About project management.

I have one friend. Clever beauty. Natural blonde. We started to teach her how to manage projects. Someone has a project manager!

Hi - she said, - Safronov, I found your business card here, it says “project manager” on it. And what do you do? I was looking for your profession in Wikipedia too. Not found.
And who is the project manager?

Yeah, well, and questions - I thought. I'll tell you how for a child ...
')
Who am I, where am I, who are these people ... Since Wikipedia does not contain a definition, then I will give it. The golden rule - if you want something to happen - do it yourself.
Or supervise personally. That is life..

First of all, the project manager is my profession, as recorded in the workbook.

In the most boring book in the world, my work is defined as “The person appointed by the performing organization to achieve the goals of the project *.” It is not clear! I'll tell you clearly:]
As I told a week ago, projects are a way to create new things with available resources. A project manager is a person whose task is to organize the transformation of resources into a predetermined result. Something like a magician's work. Or chef.

Culinary comparisons are the easiest for me. Imagine creating a new dish. Suppose a cake. There is a restaurant kitchen, there are cooks with appliances, there is an oven. The chief leads the process; cooks do simple operations: knead the dough, bake cakes, spread cream; At the exit - an unprecedented masterpiece.

Similarly, the project manager organizes the joint work of specialists to perform a common task. Something new. Steep. Unprecedented. During.

I have a friend Vasyl, already almost an MBA, he answered this question to me: “A project manager is a person who understands what and when to do and what to achieve, but does so that others do and reach. In short, such a cunning beetle. ".

That's basically it. What else to tell you?
