    Within my company, project managers go through numerous challenges. Some of the main challenges are communication, managing styles and organization. Communication is usually the main problem a project manager runs into. A project manager usually has to communicate across multiple teams, other managers and sometimes even different companies for specific projects. If the managers don’t follow up after assigning tasks to the individual elements, miscommunication will happen and the project will most likely fail. Another major issue is that the manager has to use different management styles with different teams. For example, for some teams, it is necessary to micromanage to ensure that work gets done. Other teams might need a different management style. It is up to the manager’s discretion to be able to tell the difference. Keeping track/organization is also an issue managers encounter. They always have to make sure they write down every detail about a project and about the teams working on it, to ensure its success.
