Today in class Dr. Tao is talking about project management and how important it is for our specific degree. The first thing that we worked on was our project and getting that assigned to each group so that we know what we will be talking about at the end of the year for presentations. The entire class voted on three options that were offered by each group and as a group the students voted for each groups project.
He has brought up about the field that we are working in that about half of us will be at some point a project leader and how important it is for us to get used to it now because we will be in a group of some way for the rest of our career. The most important thing for us to take away from the presentation is communication. As a group we need to communicate with each other so that we don't waste time on doing something twice or to make sure that the group is working on time and up to par of what they need to be at.
As a project manager, that person has to be on top of everything that is going on. They need to know the budget and time frame and if there is anything wrong going on, the PM needs to work it out either alone or with the rest of the group so that there are not any surprises that happen. Project Management does not happen overnight, it takes time to become a leader with good ethics and have a good agenda and keep to it so that people stay busy.
