This workflow detail captures the daily,
continuing, work of the Project Manager, covering:
dealing with change requests that have been sanctioned by the Change
Control Manager, and scheduling these for the current or future
iterations;
continuously monitoring the project in terms
of active risks and objective measurements of progress and quality;
How to Staff
The Project Manager needs a mix of organizational,
planning, communication, time management, triage, and analytic skills for
this part of the discipline.
Work Guidelines
The Project Manager should put
in place mechanisms to automate, as far as possible, the collection and reduction of
information (metrics, for example) about the project. Time should be spent in
analyzing trends, not in collection and calculation. The Project Manager's role is then to
implement the suggested solution which may give rise to a secondary problem, say,
lack of resources, which does have to be solved by the Project Manager.
The Project Manager puts in place the infrastructure and resources to
implement the solutions.
