For every successful team, there’s a Project Manager: the organisational and operational expert who ensures that everyone has what they need to deliver on time. Project Managers are able to simultaneously work backwards and forwards, creating release plans, building delivery roadmaps and establishing the inclusive dynamics that a team needs to succeed. In addition to partnering with other Thoughtworkers, Project Managers also extend their collaborative mindset and business value delivery to the client.
