These are the traits you want to see in your project manager.
A project manager is mainly responsible for whether a project succeeds or fails. Managers have to handle the workflow of the project and apply all of their knowledge and skills to meet all of the project’s requirements.
You don’t want just anyone managing your projects. The person you trust should be able to meet your needs and carry out assignments in a timely fashion. These are the traits you want to see in your project manager.
Effective Leadership
Your manager should be an effective leader. They need to be able to watch over and manage their team and take the initiative to get the project done. The manager should also create a vision for your project so that everyone working on your project knows what the end goal is. The project manager should be able to do the following:
- Set goals
- Resolve conflicts
- Evaluate the performance of individual workers
- Manage the project’s budget
- Figure out the best tools for completing the project
Time Management
Time is an important factor when working on a project, and it’s the job of the manager to manage their own time, as well as their team’s schedule. You’ll want your project completed by a certain time, and it’s the duty of the project manager to get the job done when you want it finished. Managing time involves breaking up the project into multiple, smaller tasks that are easier to digest, and determining what tasks are essential for the completion of the job.
Communication
A project manager needs to communicate effectively with you and their team. If your manager doesn’t communicate effectively with you, there’s a good chance they don’t understand what your end goal for the project is. Remember, it’s your project, meaning your needs are a priority. Make sure they listen to your wants and needs before they start working.
They also need to communicate effectively with the rest of their team. Your project won’t go well if the manager is the only one who knows what your wants and needs are. That’s why it’s imperative for the project manager to stay in touch with their team so that everyone knows how you want your project to turn out.
Risk Management
There are going to be potential risks while completing your project, and it’s up to the project manager to assess these risks. You don’t want to be mid-way through your project only to have something unexpected turns up that prevents the project’s completion. If risks get recognized before the project begins, measures can be taken to minimize those risks.
