Project manager

Job description

Position: Project manager

Experience: 8-10 years

Develop a big idea:

Many times, project managers are tasked with ideation and pitch an idea that will form the basis of the project.

Organise tasks:

Multiple tasks need to be carried out, and project managers need to allot tasks according to the available team and resources. You need to work with the team to figure out what needs to be done by whom and when.

Assemble the team:

Once you know the jobs and resources needed, you need to put together your team.

Engage the stakeholders:

This means working with upper management, clients, and everyone affected by the project to keep them updated on the project's progress and take their feedback.

Manage the budget:

There is a specific budget allotted to every project. The project manager needs to ensure that all the tasks can be carried out within the approved budget.

Lead the team

: Project managers are trained leaders. Through the course of the project, you need to coach, mentor, develop, and train the people who are working on the project with you.

Ensure a proper handover:

You are not the last part of the process. Once the project is completed, it needs to be handed over to the client and the team that will take the project forward and works on the output that you have delivered. Project managers need to ensure that all access permissions, open files, project usage rights, etc., are handed over appropriately to avoid any problems later.

Developing deliverable schedules as a roadmap for the construction team

Following the project in case there is a need to handle or supervise some tasks

Reviewing the project in depth to determine if everything is done according to plan

Recently, lots of helpful and handy (smart) tools have been developed to help the project manager do a better job.
