Here are some ways to think about it – let's use some rhymes for clarity: To manage a project , you plan with care, Setting goals and tasks beyond compare. Managing your time , a clever art, Making sure each moment plays its part. A manager’s job , it’s plain to see, Guiding a team for all to agree!
