Reflection: Relevant project management roles and companies
Reflection: Relevant project management roles and companies | Foundations of Project Management | week-2
1.
In this module, we discussed how project managers can add value to teams and
organizations. In this exercise, you will reflect on the responsibilities of a project
manager. Are you ready?
2.
Start by creating a list of 5-10 local and remote businesses currently operating that you
think would hire project managers.
Project managers can provide value to all businesses regardless of size or location. For example, smaller businesses often don’t have the resources to hire several employees. The small businesses may need a project manager to oversee contracted employees and vendors.
3.
Consider the businesses on your list, and then add types of responsibilities you think these project managers would have. Write 2-3 sentences.
Did you consider these responsibilities? Organizing product documentation, making use of productivity tools, creating schedules, managing tasks, budgeting, managing quality, and controlling costs.
4.
Choose one of the businesses on your list, and provide an example of how you think a project manager can help that business. Write 1-2 sentences.
For any business or company size, the skills and strategic approach that project managers apply to problems will always be valuable.
