The Project Manager's primary function is to coordinate the efforts of the group so that the required work is completed on time and in high quality. This means that the Project Manager must place a premium on communication and organizational skills; he/she must keep in close contact with the team members to ensure that they are on track and on task. The Project Manager's role is also to act as the chief problem solver; team members should forward problems to the Project Manager so that he/she can brainstorm and implement solutions. The Project Manager may also be asked to periodically update the instructor as to the group's progress toward reaching its goals.
