It involves planning, scheduling, budgeting, resource allocation, risk management, quality management, and change management. It is a complex task, as software projects are often subject to changing requirements and tight deadlines. In order to ensure successful project execution, software project managers must possess a variety of skills, including technical knowledge, organizational abilities, and communication skills.
