The role and focus of project management is to meet the quality goal of delivering the product within project constraints. To meet this goal, project management owns and drives the schedule, the features, and the budget for the project. Project management ensures that the right product is delivered at the right time. As the owner of the schedule, project management collects all team schedules, validates them, and integrates them into a master schedule that is tracked and reported to the team and to stakeholders.

In addition, project management coordinates resources, facilitates team communication, and drives critical decisions where consensus cannot be achieved. Project Manager is to resolve problems by identifying, evaluating, selecting, and taking appropriate corrective actions. Once interim deliverables have been completed, obtain appropriate stakeholder acceptance.
