Project Manager Responsibilities and Powers
Thread Content
In fact, the project manager's obligations are discussed a lot in the forum, and there are clear provisions in various manuals, so everyone must be aware of it. What I want to discuss with you today is what are the rights of the project manager? and the pros and cons of various powers. My previous employer was a large state-owned enterprise, which was also considered a well-known engineering company in China. The company implements a project manager responsibility system, and the project manager has great power. When organizing a project, the project manager has the right to select and recommend personnel, and then reports to each department for approval and confirmation. Therefore, the project manager basically has the final say in personnel arrangements. From now on, this group of people will be under the control of the project manager. If during the project operation, someone needs to travel for other projects, etc., they must ask for leave from him and obtain his consent. In terms of expenses, various transportation expenses, entertainment expenses, etc. are all determined according to the size of the project, the amount of charges, etc., and are then controlled by the project manager. Of course, the most important thing is the bonus, which is distributed by the project manager. However, his classification method is basically: The design manager, purchasing manager, construction manager, quality manager, business manager, etc. are directly divided by him. Design, procurement, and construction are divided by their respective managers. For example, the design manager is assigned to each major, and the professional responsible person is assigned to each designer. In such a system, the project manager has great power. Of course, the project manager must also have a certain level, have a voice in the company, and be willing to cooperate with you, so that the project enters a virtuous cycle, which invisibly plays a role in survival of the fittest. I wonder how much power the project manager in your company has? This post was last edited by laiqi on 2009-3-4 13:41 ]
