"If I had to use just one word to describe the role of an IT project manager, I would have to say 'resourceful.' No matter how much planning goes into IT projects, there are always a great number of unknown variables that impact the project. Issues such as a lack of resources, mistakes by the project team, unrealistic expectations by the project stakeholders, and other issues occur during any project. The key is to anticipate these, have the strategy for addressing them, and resolving them as quickly as possible to get the project back on track and moving towards completion. Often the solutions need to be unique and require some imagination."
