Today, employees are invited to manage projects, whether they are operational or strategic. The challenge is to manage deadlines, risks, budgets, and schedules, as well as deal with the power plays, interests, attitudes, and motivations of the different contributors.

Managing projects requires the ability to combine expertise and interpersonal skills while being clear on the role and place of the project manager. Far from being the one who delivers the goods, the project manager coordinates, motivates, and manages resistance in order to guide the project team towards success.
