Manager's Workshop: Managing a Systems Project
Article Abstract:
A project is a coordinated nonroutine endeavor. A project manager, who serves as supervisor, delegator, motivator, teacher and arbitrator, is a crucial member of a systems project team. The manager oversees not only the people and technology involved, but the time and money constraints and quality of the work. The objective of the project, whether narrow or broad, the scope or nature of the project, and the objective of the system- solution must be determined. Meetings to assess progress and to review training and testing procedures help insure that the activity moves in the right direction.
