What’s the Difference Between a Project Lead and a Project Manager?
A Project Manager oversees the entire project lifecycle, from planning to execution. They manage timelines, budgets, and risks while ensuring stakeholders are aligned.
A Project Lead, in comparison, is more task-oriented, focusing on team coordination and implementation. They act as a bridge between leadership and the project team, ensuring things get done the right way.
2. Authority to Take Decisions
A Project Manager has higher decision-making authority, with control over project scope, resource allocation, and risk management.
A Project Lead focuses on day-to-day operations, guiding the team but usually reporting to the Project Manager or other senior leadership.
3. Skill Set and Focus
A Project Manager requires strategic thinking, risk management, and stakeholder communication skills. Their primary goal is project success.
A Project Lead excels in team leadership, technical knowledge, and problem-solving to ensure smooth execution.
