Читать книгу Your mom’s best friend’s project manager! Key skills for a successful career in project management and management - Семён Колосов - Страница 9

No one likes the word “control”, it carries negativity. But if the PM is perfect, he or she has made preparations for the project, set goals, outlined project milestones, milestones and key metrics, and loaded the team with what will be done and how it will be done. Then control has a positive intent. Traffic rules are also control, but they are only useful. Either everything goes beautifully according to the process or there are problems. PM provides monitoring and control of process compliance at all stages of the project to detect deviations and problems in time. Of course, not to find fault, but to make decisions to fix them. I mean problems, not blame. An ideal PM is not a supervisor or a babysitter. He knows how to set up process monitoring in such a way that he needs minimal effort to know about problems in advance. This can be done in many different ways. Through culture, rituals, and Google Sheets. The main thing is to make sure that no one suffers. Then it will no longer be control, but management.
