Project Management

Project managers assist in managing the execution of the project plan.

Task Classification

• Tasks should be classified, according to certain activity

• Each classification will be awarded a certain amount of time.

Discussing Tasks

• Project manager discusses the tasks with the team

• The team members must provide feedback on the length of time a task will take, alert the project manager to any problems that may arise and identify the dependencies in the project.

Assigning Task

• Project manager must decide on what project management tool they would like to use.

• The project manager will add the tasks to the calendar / timeline / Gannt Chart.

• The project manager must input and assign tasks to the team.

• The project manager must prioritise tasks, ensuring that tasks with dependencies are worked on first and that team work is coordinated around specific tasks.

Working on Tasks

• The assigned team member must change the status of the task when they have started working on a task (only one task should be worked on at a time, no multitasking).

• The team member should select high ticket items first.

Reviewing Tasks

• The team member should send a status update at the end of every day

• The team member should communicate where they are with the task during the standup every morning.

• Review completed tasks and provide feedback

Methodology

• The project manager assigns tasks

• The project manager monitors work - reviewing its status and progress, and checking on its quality when complete

• The project manager captures issues and risks that arise and acts to resolve them.

• The project manager reports on its progress to the project board - comparing progress to the project plan.
