Christopher Fultz $($above$)$ stated, $$A project manager is like the conductor of the orchestra. The conductor doesn$$t play an instrument, but understands how to balance the output of everyone to deliver the finished product. The conductor has to pay attention to all of the musicians and cannot focus too long on just one section. The project manager is the same way, balancing the needs of multiple stakeholders and the team members to deliver the desired outcome. The project manager may not do the actual work, but makes sure all work is being completed to the schedule and is meeting the project requirements. The project manager cannot focus on one specific area for long, or the rest of the project can quickly become out of control.$$ Well said, right?
