Project management-the most difficult thing to do is the project manager.

SummaryThe project manager is responsible for the project initiation, planning, execution, control, and closure. If the five links are handled smoothly, the project will have 60% of the success hopes, and the remaining 40% need to be changed in a timely manner by the Project Manager. The Project Manager can continuously adapt to new requirements and lead the project to success.

From the beginning of the project, we know that project management is a very difficult task, especially the project manager. My ideal is to become a successful project manager. Therefore, with this idea, Google will search for any articles on project management, such as reports, introductions, and experience on it as long as you have time to read them one by one, I hope that I can get more experience from people's advice and avoid similar problems in my future work. But the old saying "the plan is not as fast as the change" is true. No matter how much time is spent on it, there is still no way to make all the projects in the hands perfect. However, after training several projects, I have a lot of feelings. I would like to summarize the following points for your reference.

I. project objectives

If you are in a company that uses a project as a means of survival, you should consider whether the project's objectives are clear while receiving any project, whether it is worthwhile for you to spend the time to complete the project, that is, project feasibility analysis. Of course, this analysis is quite different from the market feasibility analysis of sellers. The merchant's analysis is to discuss whether the project creates profits for them, while the project manager not only analyzes the profits that can be obtained by the project, but also analyzes the importance that the merchant attaches to the project, analyze whether the seller has any internal obstacles to the project, and analyze how the project development content and team should handle the problem if the seller cannot pay the project in time; if the project delay is too long, whether the project has an impact on the company's survival and future business development. In a word, we must take into account all aspects of the project and carefully consider possible problems, solutions, and unsolved problems, the risk is smaller, and the profit is larger.

Of course, if you are dealing with internal projects within the company, a large part of the projects are not restricted by the project manager. You can only accept the assignment of the company's leadership to complete the project. However, the project manager must also consider the importance of leadership and departments in the project, and take into account all factors that affect the project's success, do not generate a project halfway. (Of course, project managers cannot control the success or failure of some projects ). This is what the project manager needs to do that will affect the success or failure of the project-project initiation and risk identification.

Ii. Project Plan

After the project manager accepts the project, the most important task is to plan. Create a system plan for the project, such as the schedule, menu, personnel table, and department table. This plan is very important. First, let the project have a clear clue. Second, there is a goal for the project, and finally ensure the smooth completion of the project.

This plan is not fixed and needs to be adjusted continuously.

Iii. Project Team

After undertaking a project, the project manager must set up a corresponding project team. Of course, there are many ways to set up a project team, some of which are through temporary recruitment and some corresponding technical personnel to complete project development (this phenomenon is common in the construction industry ); the other thing is to draw relevant personnel from various departments of the company to form a team to complete the project in a short period of time; the other is that they have been working on a project team for a period of time.

Of course, any project manager wants to allocate resources in his/her hands to the higher level, the better, and the better. However, this situation is very rare, the better team members, the more money you need to spend on labor costs. Therefore, when setting up a team, the project manager must divide the different time periods of the project and select different levels of personnel for different time periods.

In the IT industry, it generally requires a high level of personnel for requirement analysis, system design, and database design. after entering the code writing stage, the corresponding personnel level can be reduced, as long as you are proficient in coding, the corresponding testers can also join this time to test the modules that have been compiled according to the test plan. The project manager should learn how to make full use of resources. Sometimes, the more you grasp, the better. Instead, you should let go when you let go.

The project duration is long or short. for short-term projects, the more familiar the team members, the better. Due to time constraints, the familiar team members can reduce the duration of the contract period and speed up the project progress. It does not mean that the selection of the project team is proportional to the familiarity of the project team members.

If the project takes a long time, the project manager must organize a certain number of communication or outing activities for the team members, this allows you to adjust the mood of your work by reducing your team's travel workload and actively prepare for the project's continuous development.

The project manager must regularly ask the team or team members to give feedback on the progress of the project, actively report the problems in hand to the project manager, and the Project Manager can solve the problems they cannot solve. Instead of waiting until the problem is covered up and cannot be handled, it will be a very hot potato, and the processing at that time must greatly affect the entire project. Therefore, if you are rude, it is called "killing any problem in the cradle ". In order to do this well, the project manager must do a major job-communication.

Iv. Project Funds

Project funds are the main means for more activities of robbery projects. However, for many domestic projects, the project manager cannot access the project funds. Generally, the project funds are handled by the finance department. As a result, many project managers want to make more profits for the project, but in fact they are relatively shy about the control of funds. Most of the reasons are that the salaries of employees in many companies are relatively confidential, and companies are not allowed to inquire about their respective compensation. Of course, this practice can maintain relatively stable company teams, but for the Project Manager, there will be a lot of real creden, in the regular project fund use reports, but it is estimated that, give an approximate amount, but this will inevitably lead to a false report of project funds.

Taking the IT industry as an example, the project manager never knows the specific remuneration of any team member. Instead, the project cost is estimated using the personnel-level funds granted by the finance personnel. For example, the technical personnel in the company are divided into three levels, each of which is calculated by × RMB/person/time. The cost table has a large amount of water. This is inevitable.

V. Project Acceptance

After the project is completed, in addition to the customer acceptance, it is recommended that the company perform an internal acceptance test to ensure the project success rate and internal supervision. On the other hand, we can also improve the company's project process and provide templates for other projects in the future.

Vi. Project Summary

After each project is accepted, the project manager should make a summary of the project. Record the various events and handling methods in the project process for reference by other project managers. The project manager must complete the evaluation of the team members and provide the project members with proof of work.

A project must have its own market requirements. While continuing to integrate the project business, the Project Manager can continuously classify the project, summarize the project requirements, and form a set of unique solutions for the industry projects, productization. This not only helps the Project Manager find his or her previous experience in receiving tickets for future projects, but also helps the Project Manager find a new way to survive the product.

In addition to the above considerations, the project manager needs to be able to make changes flexibly and continuously improve their own level. In addition to corresponding management capabilities, the project manager must lead the project team to succeed within the specified period of time.

The project manager can be a person who is very familiar with the business or a person with good leadership and management skills, because the project's success is not determined by the Project Manager alone, he needs the cooperation of the team and other project-related personnel, therefore, in the project development process, the Project Manager processes/controls unexpected events and communicates with people.

To sum up, the project manager is to do the following: project initiation, planning, execution, control, and closure. If the five links are handled smoothly, the project will have 60% of the success hopes, and the remaining 40% need to be changed in a timely manner by the Project Manager. The Project Manager can continuously adapt to new requirements and lead the project to success.
