Frequently Asked Questions
A project manager focuses on the execution and delivery of a project within constraints like time, budget, and scope. A product manager focuses on the strategy, roadmap, and features of a product to meet customer needs.
It depends on your project. Waterfall is good for strict, linear projects. Agile is better for flexible, iterative projects. Scrum is great for product development, and Kanban is ideal for continuous workflows.
Not necessarily, but it is highly respected. Many companies value experience over certification, but a PMP can help you stand out and demonstrates a solid understanding of PMBOK principles.
Communication, leadership, organization, risk management, and problem-solving are essential. Being able to negotiate and manage stakeholders is also critical.
You can use techniques like bottom-up estimating (summing individual task costs), analogous estimating (using past projects), or parametric estimating (using statistical relationships). Don't forget to include overhead and contingency reserves.
