Perks of being a project
manager
 Project managers often hold a lot of responsibility, from having to juggle day-
to-day pressures, to constant deadlines. No matter how difficult it can be at
times, there are still several satisfying reasons to be a project manager. If
you’ve lost your enthusiasm and need reminding of all the reasons you started
this career, or if you are looking to find out whether a job in project
management is for you, this list of perks should help you:
 There is never a dull moment in project management. The nature of project
work is things are always changing, which sets new challenges and targets.
This is great for someone who likes to keep busy. The life cycle of projects
includes the planning, executing, and closing of a project. This means there
are always chances to work with new products, technology and services across
a number of different industries to name a few.
Meeting new people
 Project managers usually always seem to be great people persons. This could
be because they are always in contact with different sorts of people.
Regardless of the size of project they are working on, they have the ability to
communicate with people of all job roles and levels within organisations – all
with one common theme to complete the project as close to the brief as
possible.
Travel opportunities
 project management certification courses can sometimes find themselves
traveling to different destinations for many different reasons, from
monitoring the progress of the project, establishing new contacts, meeting
with stakeholders, and discussing new project ideas. Just make sure to take
some time to relax and experience the new places.
You are always learning
 Every project is different, so each set of challenges will vary. This encourages
you to review and adjust your working style, and it shows the importance of
learning from past mistakes. A project manager’s role is often evolving, giving
you the opportunity to keep learning new skills and processes.
Job satisfaction
 Even though being a project manager can be demanding and unpredictable at
times, there’s nothing like working with a great team to create a new solution
that makes your customer money and exceeds expectations,- It can be a
motivating factor to strive to perform better in future projects when all
you’re doing is just your job.
