1) Many
information technology project managers come from senior technical
positions. What can you do to help them
transition into a project management role?
In order to help project managers coming
from senior technical positions transition into a project manager role, there
are a number of things that Senior Managers can do to help. Senior Managers can mentor and coach them in
leadership techniques and skills as well as business skills. They can enroll them in business and
leadership training classes and seminars such as Six Sigma; train them on how
to use project management software, and help them get certified in project
management.
I agree with this answer. In my past job our senior technician was promoted to project manager due to having technical experience that would benefit him when forecasting projects.
ReplyDeleteMentoring them on what other Departments do is beneficial too.
