This is a funny meme but it's also true. Project managers are often the unsung heroes of any project. They're the ones who keep everything on track, make sure everyone is on the same page, and that the project is completed on time and within budget. But project managers are also often invisible. They're not the ones who are out there in the field, doing the work. They're the ones who are behind the scenes, making sure everything runs smoothly. So next time you see a project manager, take a moment to thank them for their hard work. They're the ones who make sure that your projects are a success.
