Cool

A1) Managing the resources against the schedule.
A2) Team bonding and team unity lacks most of the times.

Hi sarit,

what i have experienced - more than 20 Years in business know - there are a LOT of difficvulties a PM has to deal with; but imho the most difficult and also the most underestimated thing in project management is COMMUNICATION.
A golden rule says, that like about 80% of PM is communication and if this is only nearly the truth - and i will commit this - than you communication skills are crucial for succeed in PM.

Just my 2 Cents ...

Regars,

Markus

PS: Sorrry for my bad language, but i am not an english native ...

Smile Problems

Hi Sarit,
I believe as a project manager the main problem that arise is of keeping everything coordinated and in control. As the responsibility for the success or failure of the tool rests on your shoulder, it becomes even more essential that not only you deliver the best of your work, but make sure that others do the same as well.
So I would say the biggest problem is to assure that what is desired is delivered as well.

When so many person suggests their opinion on one project, on that time to make decision is not easy to individually.

The greatest challenge for a project manager is being able to motivate your team members to work for a common goal. As a project manager, it is my responsibility to align their goals ( career goals and self growth) with the goals of the company. Only when you are able to address this I believe , will you be able to motivate your team. How do you do this, through effective communication. Thus a project manager must also possess leadership skills and people skills. Technical knowhow is a must be, these two skills I cited should never be taken for granted.

Time management is one of the most common difficulty for the project manager. And in terms of social aspects, the team management is one of the approach that he has to take care of.

Being a project manager, I believe that managing the team members and their tasks allotted is not that easy to manage and based on that requirement, I have preferred to use the cloud based task management software and applications that keeps a better reach for a good management of the team.
