Project Management is primarily a communication job, responsible for getting estimates and dependencies from the teams and communicating these estimates and dependencies to management (who is responsible for the schedule and execution). Frankly, the only time a person should show up on management's radar is if their in Critial Path and they're behind.

Post #263,649 by drewk 8/3/06 2:45:19 PM Reply	You forgot to say "should be" I usually see PMs getting leaned on to make schedule, and getting bonuses if they do. If the PM isn't responsible for schedule, who is? Serious question. === Purveyor of Doc Hope's [link\|http://DocHope.com\|fresh-baked dog biscuits and pet treats].

Post #263,651 by boxley 8/3/06 3:02:02 PM Reply	PM is responsible to "lean" on the schedule part of their job description. However they are not responsible for the schedule. The committed folks are. If the schedule slips its the fault of the item owner, not the PM and should be beaten. :-) thanx, bill Any opinions expressed by me are mine alone, posted from my home computer, on my own time as a free american and do not reflect the opinions of any person or company that I have had professional relations with in the past 50 years. meep
