Project Management

I have been a project manager for some years and found it a very challenging and difficult job. In the company I worked with (which is already in the top 10 biggest company in Taiwan), I haven't seen a sucessful project management practice.

Nevertheless, I still found its useful to try to remember some important things in the project management guideline.

Role of project manager:

1. Leadership and guidance (often difficult)
2. Planning
3. Customer relations
4. Technical leadership
5. Senior management liaison

Foreseight is an excellent PM quality: ability to anticipate problem (Risk management)

Successful risk management: (defined by SEI)
1. Riskis are identified and analyzed
2. Risks are mitigated, tracked and controlled to effectively use of program resources.
3. Probmels are prevented before they occur and personnel consciously focus on what could affecdt productd quality and schedules
