The evolution of business strategies has increased the importance of management having a thorough understanding of the products they produce. More and more employees are getting promoted from within to become project managers as they fully understand what they are producing and how best to meet the quality and quantity requirements set out by executive management.

Using established processes, coupled with the experience and skills of experienced workers, employers are able to develop project management skills from within.
