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 fashion. Software engineers, working FOR a project manager, frequently feel that the project manager is providing no added value. This is NOT true. -Bill -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
