I am currently applying for the position of project manager. So find out how to be a qualified project manager online. Combine with the project managers you have come into contact with. Compiled an article.
1. Project Manager Responsibilities
It may be easy to be a project manager in a foreign company, but in China, a project manager is an all-rounder.
1. The project manager is the first responsible person for the entire project, and establishes the internal management and communication mechanism of the project team according to the project specification. The team members and other resources can be deployed as needed, and the work of the project team members can be reasonably evaluated.
2. The project manager must effectively control all aspects of project development (requirements analysis, design, development, testing, deployment) and deal with existing problems in the project.
3. The project manager is responsible for organizing requirements analysis, and organizing the review of requirements documents and requirements change documents.
4. Assign system design tasks and conduct reviews. Architecture design, module design, user interface design, database design, etc.

8. Responsible for submitting test versions and building a practical integration test environment.
9. Management of bug system
10. Various project documents.
2. Project Risk Control
Every project, big or small, has various risks, and the project manager must be able to prevent these risks in advance.
1. Risk of changing requirements
The way to prevent this risk is to agree in writing with the user the requirements change control process at the beginning of the project construction, record and archive the user's requirement change application.
2. Risk of poor communication
The way to prevent this kind of risk is to agree on the communication channels and methods with the project stakeholders at the beginning of the project construction, communicate and communicate with the project stakeholders more during the project construction process, and pay attention to cultivating and exercising their own communication skills.
3. Progress risk
The way to prevent this risk is generally to deliver products in stages, increase the frequency and intensity of project monitoring, and use more feasible methods to ensure the quality of work and avoid rework.
4. Quality risk
The way to prevent this kind of risk is generally to communicate the work results with users frequently, adopt the development process that meets the requirements for brand management, carefully organize the inspection and review of the output, plan and organize strict independent testing, etc.
5. System performance risk
The way to prevent this risk is generally to design and build the infrastructure of the system and perform performance testing before project development, to ensure that the architecture meets the performance indicators before proceeding with follow-up work.
6. Tool Risk
The way to prevent this risk is generally to identify the sources of tools or possible replacement tools at the start of the project, and to track and implement the tools in place before these tools need to be used (usually about a month in advance).
7. Technical risk
The way to prevent this risk is to select the technology necessary for the project, and to carry out technical training for the relevant personnel before the technology is applied.
8. Team member ability and quality risk
The way to prevent this risk is to select the right people, carry out targeted training, and assign the right people to the right positions before hiring them.
9. Team member collaboration risk
The way to prevent this kind of risk is that the project manager needs to clearly communicate the project objectives, work tasks, etc. with the project members at the beginning of the construction of the project, adopt a fair, impartial and open performance evaluation system, and advocate the work style of solidarity and mutual assistance.
10. Risk of personnel turnover
The way to prevent this risk is to distribute the core work of the project to as many people as possible (rather than focus on individual people), and strengthen the cultivation and reserve of the same type of talents.
The ability of project managers
To be able to be a project manager in a small and medium-sized company, in my opinion, four basic skills are required: technology, communication, management, and qualifications. Of course, not all of these skills need to be possessed.
1. Project managers must understand technology. Technology is the foundation of our existence. Do you think that after a few years, when you are sitting in the position of a department manager, what do you do every day? Coordinator? Wrangling with other departments? If you want to change jobs at that time, which company wants you, and what is your core competitiveness? Technical drills are necessary, but don’t drill into small technologies. You must control the principles of current mainstream technologies, and at the same time be able to propose constructive solutions to certain problems in the user’s business, and consider team building and control the technical direction.
On the other hand, project managers have to communicate with technicians, who are notoriously difficult to communicate with. If you break away from some basic terms and communicate to some specific solutions, communication with technical personnel often has better results. And there are many techniques used here.
Therefore, from this aspect, it can be said that it is necessary for the project manager to master some techniques. Of course, the project manager of a foreign-funded company only considers the progress of the project. . .
2. The project manager must be eloquent, to boost morale when the team's morale is low, and to maintain a neither humble nor arrogant momentum when communicating with customers.
3. The project manager must be able to manage, and less to be able to unite and unite. Including your leaders, your subordinates, your comrades, sales, customers, etc., in order to share your experience of picking up girls with technical staff in exchange for their support, you can also share your profitable stocks with them, or even anything No need to pay, just show your concern for them from time to time.
4. Qualifications, all kinds of diplomas, certificates, experience
