Reflection:


During this module I have learned the professional roles, duties and responsibilities of the Project Manager. I have also learned to accurately define project characteristics, objects, organisations and success. I can now also explain the understanding of the strategies for the execution of the development process in response to the client’s objectives. I can now easily identify the possible risk that a project manager may face during the process of development.
