There are so many similar definitions or statements of what a project manager does, and one useful website* states that project managers ensure the project is completed on time and within budget, that the project's objectives are met and that everyone else is doing their job properly. Project managers oversee the project to ensure the desired result is achieved, the most efficient resources are used, and the different interests involved are satisfied.

The website goes on to mention the typical industries project managers work or are employed in –

Construction companies
Architects
Software producers
Commercial retailers
Engineering firms
Manufacturers
Public sector organisations
Aviation
