Project management (PM) involves such activities as planning work
objectives, analyzing and designing of projects, assessing and controlling
risk, and acquiring and allocating resources. It is important that
these individuals possess an ability to ask penetrating questions,
resolve interpersonal conflicts, and detect unstated assumptions.
One's ability to effectively
manage projects no matter what size, is an extremely valuable skill
in today's ever-changing and complex organizations. Colleges, universities
and other online schools now offer PM programs that carry over into
a wide array of fields such as engineering, construction, finance,
marketing, and web-based projects. Most motivated individuals who
are seeking to advance their careers in such a position will usually
have a bachelor's degree or higher and will have acquired industry-related
skills in their specific field of interest.
Today, there are several
national and professional associations that exist regarding the
PM profession. Some of the more prominent ones are: The International
Project Management Association, The International Association of
Project and Program Management (IAPPM), The International Project
Management Commission, and The Project Management Institute. Because
the field is so diverse, salaries do vary considerably. However,
one can expect to earn no less than $35,000 per annum when beginning
their career.
