Abstract Stress affects the way we work and our ability to be efficient and effective. The people who work are a very important resource when managing work or projects and it is important to ensure their wellbeing such that they can perform their duties in a project. Therefore stressed employees can effect the outcome of a project, either by losing out on their effectiveness and delaying the project or in worst case losing the ‘’human resource’’ completely. Based on this, stress management is important to consider when working with projects. Real life examples of stress happening are e.g. when the whole world shut down because of the ongoing pandemic. It required change in where and how to work. Change in the communication between coworkers. The whole work/life balance was wrought up. Some companies have handled it well while other companies have been struggling. The changes the pandemic has brought has been a cause for stress both at the office and when working from home. Therefore managers have had to manage stress to keep their employees efficiency and effectiveness up. Changes causes stress whether it is working conditions or restructuring of the organizations. As a project manager, a project will always have changes happening. The project rarely runs smoothly and adjustments have to occur. Therefore in a position as a project manager, stress needs to be managed to handle the changes and the employees. If the king falls, the war is lost. Therefore, it is important that the projectmanager manages the stress of not only their employees but also themselves. Using tools in e.g. time management and communication it is possible to manage stress not only for the project manager but also their employees while keeping them happy. Managing stress eliminates uncertainty and keeps the project steady.
