    Project Manager focuses in every aspect of the project. He exert so much effort to keep everyone in-track, manage the time allotted for the project, make sure that the production is going smoothly, and even handle the budget for the project; everything's done by a lone person! Amazing, right? Those are big shoes to fill in, and you must've a lot of mighty skills and traits to fulfill this job. But, in our company, we are using this sort of app that makes everything easier, which lessens the workload of the project manager.
