The Project Manager plans, executes, and finalizes projects according to strict deadlines and within budget.This includes acquiring resources and coordinating the efforts of his team and third party contractors or consultants to ensure the timely deliver of project within a deadlines.

Communication is the most important thing a Project Manager does during project. 

For software engineers/(technical) project managers, they've to master key languages such as Python, Java, and JS, C++, etc. They've to have experience leading a department or a team as well as excellent communication skills to liaise between different roles within their own team, motivate, delegate and arbitrate when friction arises.

Close follow up, and complete all the tasks as per given schedule. If you done your project before given deadline, it is also a plus point.

I n my opinion its leadership and solid coordination between various sections in the project.

Project Manager will check the work plan, ask for day to day progress to individuals, monitor the work assigned to Engineering Procurement Construction under progress, arrange fund, disburse payment, Finally inform higher authority (Direct Boss) for achievement.
