Project Manager
A project manager is a professional in the field
of project management.
Project managers can have the
responsibility of the planning,
execution, and closing of any
project.

MS Project
Microsoft Project is a project management
software program, which is designed to assist a
project manager in developing a plan, assigning
resources to tasks, tracking progress, managing the
budget, and analysing workloads.
maher.almohamad@outlook.com
Note
Microsoft project expert isn’t a replacement for
the project manager.
Microsoft Project doesn’t ensure a successful
project if a person doesn’t understand project
management. However, Microsoft Project can assist
a project manager in becoming more effective.
