# project management principles — Project Manager

As a Project Manager, 'project management principles' isn’t about *knowing* the phases – it’s about consistently applying them to navigate daily chaos. This means routinely defining scope with stakeholders (often re-negotiating!), breaking down work into manageable tasks in tools like Jira or Asana, and building realistic schedules considering resource availability. You'll spend a lot of time risk assessment - not just identifying potential problems but proactively planning mitigation strategies *before* they derail things. Daily tasks involve tracking progress against baselines (using earned value management concepts even if you don’t call it that), managing change requests, and communicating status effectively – often needing to translate technical details for non-technical audiences.
