I am currently designing a job description for Project Coordinator. I have purchased eProject as my project mgmt solution and I want 1 person to function as Project Coordinator and eProject Admin. My thoughts were that this person would work with the company directors to assist them with the software as well help resolve issues and report past due tasks and issues to the President. This person will not directly be responsible for the completion of the projects, simply facilitate the software use and issue tracking. Any feedback on what else this person might do (like approving project plans to make sure the format is correct, budget, risks, etc.) is what I am looking for. My main feeling is that if 1 person is there to babysit all of the projects they will fall behind or they simply won't update the software appropriately. Thanks in advance. Luke Saving Changes...
Luke, I’m assuming your project coordinator specializes in project planning and control and provides support for multiple projects and project managers. I like the idea of the project coordinator position you’ve described, as it will make critical project issues visible in a timely manner to your company directors. Some of the tasks I’ve thought of are below, although it can be argued that an associate project manager would do some of these functions if you had one.
Monitor performance against project baseline.
Maintain project documentation in a central repository.
Provide support to quality audits.
Make information available to project stakeholders.
Establishes a distribution structure for project information.
Guide and assist the project team in the development of the project plan.
Lead operator of eProject software.
Mentor others who wish to develop competence in project planning and control.
Train others in eProject software.
Obtain and process status data and maintain an updated plan.
Evaluate project status and performance.
Recommend appropriate corrective actions.
Develop and maintain standards for planning and control.
