Project Management is Inherent in BUsiness
"Project management has evolved from a management philosophy restricted to a few functional areas and regarded as something nice to have to an enterprise project management system affecting every functional unit of the company."

Mediacurrent
Ross was a full-time project manager for an open-source, Drupal-based, web development company. He worked with clients across a wide range of industries and with varying budget levels per month. He had clients and team members based both domestically and internationally.
For each client, Ross was the day-to-day contact with the client. Discussions with the client would lead to the development of detailed business requirements and anticipated outcomes. With these he developed road maps and defined sprints based on the work to be done and available budget.
The teams varied in size depending on budget. They were comprised of members from development, strategy, UX, design, and QA.
When scope was challenged and new requirements were needed, Change Orders were drafted, reviewed and approved.
Consulting with the client was also a large part of the role. Ross, having learned the business needs, would make recommendations to help optimize the web site (for those post-launch clients). Often accessibility (Section 508 and WCAG), improving SEO, and reducing technical debt were discussed.
