An excellent list, I would add that frequently the project manager has =
significant budget responsibilities as well.

In an informal sense, the project manager is the point person for =
keeping a project on track, on budget, and completed in a timely =

Software engineers, working FOR a project manager, frequently feel that =
the project manager is providing no added value.  This is NOT true.
