Agencylife: Three Project Management Killers
You want to give your agency’s project managers ready access to the information they need to develop an accurate, detailed scope of work. You also need to provide them with real-time information on burn rate and team efficiency so they are able to adjust fire, re-allocate resources, or, if necessary, to back to the client to discuss adjusting the budget if necessary.
Encompassing all these concerns, project managers also must know who on staff the best fit for a particular project is and whether or not they have bandwidth.
