Project Management for Non-Project Managers - Monitoring and Controlling your Project

Today more than ever before the job titles that we hold are not entirely reflective of the work that we do.  Global teams and collaboration often place those in positions of team leadership that have the least foundation to manage all facets of complex projects.  Project management requires specific knowledge of the key project facets that must be carefully managed.  The interactions across divergent corporate functions, culture, language, and time zones all pose unique challenges to the new project manager.

The project manager’s sole role and responsibility is to monitor and manage the project to success.  Great plans and great teams don’t necessarily guarantee project success – good project management that carefully tracks project progress and maintains control can only guarantee that success.  Successful projects require constant care and maintenance to ensure that plans are achieved. When unexpected situations occur, it is up to the project manager to properly react to the situation and keep the project tracking according to the plan.
