Five main characteristics of project manager

1. Leadership
A great project manager will set the tone for the project and provide a clear vision about
its objectives for the team. A sense of foresight helps as well: by anticipating potential
problems, you can have your team ready to solve them in the blink of the eye.
Enthusiasm and passion are crucial to ensure that people follow you—nobody will do so
if you’re sporting a negative attitude.

2. Communication
Good communication is not only about transmitting your vision to your team, it’s also
about maximising the efficiency of meetings to make decisions and solve problems.
People get easily bored during long, unorganised gatherings. The same goes for written
communication: emails and reports are a means of communication you use daily so you
need to be able to make most of them.

But that’s not all. You should also be a great public speaker, communicating your ideas
and reflections in a coherent and understandable manner. Other communication skills
like providing constructive feedback and active listening are important as well.

3. Organisation
Good organisation is a key factor for creating a productive work environment as well as
solving problems under pressure. Being well-organised helps to stay focused on the big
picture and to prioritise your own tasks and responsibilities. When it comes to presenting
your results, you should be able to recover all the necessary data and show a coherent
vision of a project to be executed.
4. Problem solving
You are the leader of the team, but that doesn’t mean you’ll solve all the problems
yourself. Great project managers work with a team of experts or consultants and use
their expertise to tackle problems in most efficient ways. No one will expect you to have
a ready solution to each and every issue; you must be able to use the knowledge of your
team members and even stakeholders to produce a collective response to any problems
you experience on your way to delivering a project.

5. Team development
Delivering projects within the time and budget limit can be quite stressful; it’s your job
not to crumble under the pressure and make sure none of your team members do. Good
leaders know that problems make up the fabric of life and are to be expected: they will
treat problems as events that could possibly influence the project in a new way by
providing a different perspective on its future.

Even if things get bad, you should never radiate a negative attitude towards your team
as you’re the one they depend on to lead them through difficulties. If you’re project
manager material, you’ll make it through.

Main things software project manager to achieve successful software project

1.Project scope is the part of project planning that involves determining and documenting a list
of specific project goals, deliverables, features, functions, tasks, deadlines, and ultimately costs.
In other words, it is what needs to be achieved and the work that must be done to deliver
a project.

2.Project risk management is the process of identifying, analyzing and then responding to
any risk that arises over the life cycle of a project to help the project remain on track and meet
its goal. A risk is anything that could potentially impact your project's timeline, performance or
budget
3. A Resource Plan summarizes the level of resources needed to complete a project. A
properly documented Resource Plan will specify the exact quantities of labor, equipment and
materials needed to complete your project. This Resource Planning template also helps you
gain approval from your Sponsor, ensuring their buy-in.
4. Scheduling in project management is the listing of activities, deliverables, and milestones within
a project. A schedule also usually includes the planned start and finish date, duration, and resources
assigned to each activity. Effective project scheduling is a critical component of successful
time management.
