Project Manager Tips & Hints

Project Manager and Time Management

Project Manager and Time Management

Time Management
Time Management is the process of recording and controlling time spent by staff on the project. As time is a scarce resource within projects, each team member should record time spent undertaking project activities on a Timesheet Form. This will enable the Project Manager to control the amount of time spent undertaking each activity within the project. A Timesheet Register is also completed, providing a summary of the time spent on the project in total so that the Project Plan can always be kept fully up-to-date.

Cost Management
Cost Management is the process by which costs / expenses incurred on the project are formally identified, approved and paid. Expense Forms are completed for each set of related project expenses such as labor, equipment and materials costs. Expense Forms are approved by the Project Manager and recorded within an Expense Register for auditing purposes.

Quality Management
Quality is defined as “the extent to which the final deliverable conforms to the customer requirements”. Quality Management is the process by which quality is assured and controlled for the project, using Quality Assurance and Quality Control techniques. Quality reviews are undertaken frequently and the results recorded within a Quality Review Form.
