A project manager or project director, serves as the client representative on a project. They focus on overseeing the project’s progress, fostering collaboration in the project team, and minimising risks, with the goal of maximising benefits and cost control.
While experienced clients may have in-house project managers, external project managers are effective when they integrate into your organisation. This is what we do at Stratus9. A skilled project manager should grant the consultant team direct access to clients and other stakeholders during the briefing process without interference.
The main roles of a project manager include.
Preliminary Business Case & Strategic Brief Assistance
Assisting in the development of the client’s preliminary business case and strategic brief.
Consultant Team Management
Advising and managing the selection and appointment of the consultant team.
Organising Roles and Responsibilities
Organising roles and responsibilities for client representatives, champions, and user panels.
Client Representation
Issuing information and instructions on the client’s behalf.
Project Execution Planning
Developing a project execution plan, including procurement route and contract selection.

Project Oversight

Monitoring and Reporting

Early appointment of the project manager is crucial for establishing the right project structure and systems for the success of your project.
