Although somewhat of a silly subject, we all use succinct words to describe ourselves in our Bio’s and Resumes. Some of these words might be considered perspectives and others a statement of our skill level. Limiting yourself to no more than two words (you can cheat if you want to) please state how you summarily describe your PM skill level as a simple statement and then describe why. Have fun with it and vote on your favorites.

I've had several titles in my career, and it may depend on how it is defined by the client's terminology or contractually defined. Project Manager, Sr. Project Manager, Principal Project Manager, Project Leader, Project Director, etc.

But I like George's' Battle Hardened' descriptor.
Getting silly now, how about these..

--Fire Fighter
--Traffic Controller
-- Mountain Climber
-- Hostage Negotiator
-- Weather Man
--Chainsaw Juggler
--Chess Master

They all ring a little bit true.

I try not to get too hung up on titles. A Project "Batteries Included, Super Sonic, Special Forces, Double Barreled, Sawed Off, Rock Star, Kung Fu Master" Manager is what you are.
Whatever your title is, take pride in your work.

Accomplished is one that hasn't been mentioned yet. It denotes not just that you've been around for a long time, but that there's a good reason for it.

"Pragmatic" - having worked in a very wide range of contexts (domain, team size, company size, industry), if there's one thing I've learned it is that you have to be pragmatic with your approach to project management.

"But the fact that some geniuses were laughed at does not imply that all who are laughed at are geniuses. They laughed at Columbus, they laughed at Fulton, they laughed at the Wright brothers. But they also laughed at Bozo the Clown."
