Due to the PMI website, these are some of the challenges that project managers could face:
1) Ensuring Project Success
2) Preventing Project Failures
3) Enhancing Project Competencies

I would elaborate on the first point from my point of view. Although ensuring the project success doesn’t depend on PM only and depends on the group members, PM would have to handle all the issues related to the project at the end of the day as he/she would be the one who is responsible about the project outcomes and any failure. This includes issues in communicating with the team. An effective communication plan during any project is essential, and failing in communicating could lead to project failure. This can be caused by the personal difference between people. For example, some people would prefer to communicate via email, others would prefer phone calls, and so on. This needs an extra effort by the PM to ensure that his instructions and project deliverables are successfully given to the segment. Collaboration between the team and the PM is the key to handle such issues and overcoming these difficulties to ensure that the project is going smoothly.
