What do you do for a living?
Article Abstract:
There seems to be considerable confusion in the UK about the exact role of the project manager. Some observers, especially those in design teams, regard project managers negatively, seeing them as hampering close links between designer and client. However, a good project manager is in fact vital for a client dealing with the construction industry for the first time, particularly on a large scheme. The project manager is involved in all elements of the project, and this means that he is in danger of sharing blame if problems arise.
