The Project Manager's Responsibilities
The fundamental responsibility of the project manager is to manage delivery of an agreed upon level of solution quality while planning for and controlling the "triple constraints" (scope, cost and schedule). If a project is represented as a triangle, then the project manager's responsibility is to ensure that the target level of quality is achieved while keeping the three sides of the triangle in balance.Managing project scope, cost, schedule and quality is the primary objectives of a project manager. If any one of these components change, then the imbalance will result in the change of one or more of the other components.
