The document discusses project management. It defines project management as the process of initiating, planning, executing, monitoring and controlling, and closing all aspects of a project. It notes that a project manager's typical day involves putting everyone on the same page, foreseeing issues and problems, reviewing status and schedules, having meetings and taking meeting minutes, tracking actions, qualities, and reports, and communicating. High-performing project managers are proactive, prevent conflicts and risks, and can connect different aspects of a project. When hiring project managers, companies should ask about their experience with challenges like conflict management and how they solved them.
