Week 5 Discussion

Being an Effective Project Manager

Each week, you will be asked to respond to the prompt or prompts in the discussion forum. Your initial post should be 75-150 words in length, and is due on Sunday. By Tuesday, you should respond to two additional posts from your peers. 

Understanding how to manage is just as important as having accurate estimates, proper personnel, sufficient completion time, and the appropriate amount of funds. Being a poor manager or project manager can derail a well-planned and staffed project.

Conduct research or interview a project manager to find out what it takes to be an effective manger. If you are using an article, it must have been published within the last six months. Briefly summarize your article or interview. Then explain what you learned and how you will adjust your behaviors based on this new information.
