After a lot of hard work, I was promoted to the project manager. Maybe you thought you could breathe a sigh of relief. In fact, one of the project managers encountered such a problem. In addition, there are many things I have to do in person. The project manager has a lot of responsibilities, but it is really tiring. "In fact, there may be a different discovery if you change your mindset. It turns out that the project manager can also do this-
For a project team of more than 4 project members, the project manager should only do three things.
1. Do things in a goal-oriented way
The first thing to understand is what to do, and the second is how to do it. Goals are an important feature of project management. The project manager ’s working principles are all around the project goals. It is the right thing to do for things that are conducive to the achievement of project goals without violating the project manager ’s professional ethics and code of conduct. There are short-term goals and long-term goals. It may be a short-term goal to complete the current project according to the goal. Bringing out an efficient team through one year may be a long-term goal. For non-temporary project managers, they should focus more on the long-term goals of the project than on the short-term benefits of the current project.
2. Decompose your own defined goals
Achieving an overall goal is definitely not something that can be achieved by simply improving an influencing factor, and there is also a reaction between various factors, which must be comprehensively considered. Determine the expected level, and then include these expectations in the plan for tracking and control.
3. Concerns about specific practical operations
First of all, the emphasis on risks and crises is far greater than that on problems. Not that problem solving is not important, but the project manager should focus more on eliminating risks and hidden dangers. The project manager must have a keen insight, and he should promptly make a plan when he discovers various signs or crises. In addition, the project manager must understand the authorization, but ensure that the authorization will not affect the progress and quality, so the project manager is definitely not acting on behalf of himself, doing everything himself, or not blindly authorizing, regardless of anything, but acting as a good coach character of.
As a team leader, the project manager should also do this.
Construction of the project team
Forming an efficient project team and clarifying the responsibilities of the team members is the primary condition for the project manager to carry out project management and is also the key to whether the project goals can be achieved.
Good organization and decentralization
The essence of the project manager is to carry out project management, rather than to implement many tasks. Individual energy is limited, and it is impossible to master all knowledge and skills. To dare to trust others and let others do it, we must give full play to the spirit of team combat.
Pay attention to interpersonal communication
Good interpersonal skills are the first necessary abilities of project managers. Outstanding project managers should learn to coordinate and communicate with the owners, project team members and the company's senior management, which plays an important role in the success of the entire project. Good communication is the way of information exchange, team collaboration is the key to success.
Strengthen leadership
The project manager's job is to plan the blueprint, make plans, and lead the team members to complete the project, rather than implement each sub-project. Grant each team member certain powers and assign corresponding responsibilities, organically combining powers, responsibilities and interests.
The quality of the project manager
➤ Have the professional technical knowledge.
➤ Have a motivated job and take the initiative to take responsibility.
➤ Have mature and objective judgment ability. Mature means having experience and being able to see the problem. Objective means seeing the ultimate goal instead of just looking at the present.
➤ Ability to manage. ➤ Honesty and reliability are consistent with words and deeds. ➤ Alert, energetic, hard-working, and ready to deal with what may happen.
Clear project management content
➤ The project manager should control all aspects of the project management (contract scope, schedule, cost, quality, safety, human resources, project communication, risks, materials) as a whole, and each of them is crucial. ➤ To clarify the management content and grasp the work focus is the basis of successful project management.
