Web Project Manager
Some companies have built a reputation for being able to consistently manage projects effectively. However, there are even more organizations that have a spotty record at best. Typical signs of inadequate web project management processes include:- Project management is reactive and not seen as providing value.
- The time required to manage projects proactively is not built into the workplan because it is considered overhead.
- Project teams achieve some level of success, but only through heavy stress and overtime work throughout the project.
- Projects are often completed late, go over budget, or do not meet the functionality requirements of the end users.
- Limited standard processes and techniques used inconsistently by project managers.
An appropriate level of project management discipline can overcome these shortcomings. Of course, having good project management skills does not mean that there won't be any problems.
Rather, it just means that there are standard tools and techniques in place to help deal with all issues that arise.
Web project management is a science in that it relies on proven and repeatable processes and techniques to achieve success. However, it is also an art because it involves managing and connecting with people, and requires the project manager to apply intuitive skills in situations that are unique for each project."
My name is Marios Alexandrou and I'm a New York-based web project manager with over 10 years of experience (see my project manager resume) solving business problems through the use of effective design practices, on-time development cycles, and seamless deployment of custom-built web sites.
My employers have benefited from my project management and software development expertise and are now able to do more while spending less. They chose, from the beginning of their projects, to use a team of professionals and haven't looked back since.
