I had been going thru the threads & find this is a quite useful. And as this is my first query I just want to make a clear picture so this may go a little longer.
I am working in an Auto industry as a Manager - projects Planning & Co-ordination in a New product development department. Basically the job does not fall to a part of PM but fall into the entire workflow (Requirements engineering / projects planning Considering all cross funtional departments.
Here every project does involve Mechanical parts design & development / Electronics parts (Hardware) design & development / Software development / Integration of software & hardwares / testing & finally a product is made
I have always 50 projects at any time with me each worth $100000 to $500000
Now that our company is trying to work out the "POSITION DESCRIPTION" of every role we play & I have been made the team leader in the Program management area.
I have some queries while trying to make this.
POSITION DESCRIPTION requires to address the following for my role that is "Projects Planning & Co-ordination"
1. Basic purpose of the Position
a. Position Objective
b. Position Purpose
2. Major Actities - To address at least 20 responsibities with estimated share / percentage of time spent for each of them
3. Each responsibilities should have a Principal Accountabilities(Key Measurable Results to be accomplished)
4. Major Challeges of the position to be solved with the help of TOP management
5. Ongoing problems to be sorted by self & teams
6. Specific Competencies required for the position (Technical / Functional & Behavioural)
I see this is different from the competency mapping (I had been involved earlier)& needs special address & each one should be measurable.
I thought of floating this here so as to get the views from the PM Experts & PM Professional so that a compilation would bring a better result as well than doing it all alone.
Could some one support me in establishing the position description of the role??
We have derived a format for the Position description & Competency Mapping & has been already approved by the Top Management If interested please send me a separate mail (raymond at pricol dot co dot in ) so that I can share them for better understanding
Sorry for troubling with a long mail but I think this would great help to me on job profiling of every role in the PM Area for our industry
