A project is a systems engineering project that requires the cooperation of various professional managers to complete the construction tasks. So, as a project manager, regardless of the professional line, especially a project manager, one should be proficient in project management characteristics, methods, and possess some basic qualities for managing things.
Firstly, it is necessary to master the basic characteristics of engineering project management proficiently.
Since the implementation of "project-based construction" in the 1990s, through continuous changes, a relatively scientific theory and method of engineering project management have been formed, and the "Construction Project Management Specification" has been formulated. Although different engineering management enterprises have different management "personalities", they basically implement a project management operation system with "headquarters responsibility, goal responsibility, project culture, and co creation and progress" as the main line.
One is to clearly adhere to the principle of 'legal person manages projects'. Enterprises are the mainstay of the market and the core force for successful bidding of engineering projects. Therefore, it is necessary to adhere to the principle of "overall responsibility of the company, legal person in charge of projects" and establish various project departments. Project managers should follow the management regulations of the headquarters, perform their duties and responsibilities, cooperate with each other to form a joint force, and ensure the achievement of project management goals. We cannot go our separate ways. The "two skins" required by the headquarters and the actual implementation of the project, you have policies and I have countermeasures, putting the company's interests under the interests of the project department.
Secondly, it is necessary to clearly adhere to the project responsibility objectives. The goal responsibility system of project management is the highest principle of project operation, which can only be followed without flexibility. Fulfilling contractual obligations is the duty of project managers. At the same time, the project is the carrier of the productivity level of engineering management enterprises, with the theme of improving engineering quality and safety production level, the incentive of striving for excellence, and the driving force of creating red construction sites, green construction sites, smart construction sites, and safe construction site pilot projects, to promote technological innovation and management improvement of enterprises.
Thirdly, it is necessary to clearly adhere to the establishment of a project management culture. The project department represents the enterprise in carrying out extensive contacts with various parties in the local area. During the construction period, it is an integral part of the local society, a forefront of cultural construction, and a showcase of corporate culture. We must adhere to the guidance of Party building, people-oriented, civilized construction, unify image identification, and fully build and display project management culture. To create a safe, comfortable, and healthy workplace for workers; To stimulate the initiative, enthusiasm, and creativity of workers, various activities such as commending advanced workers should be carried out. To give full play to the political advantages and leading role of the Party branch in projects, unite efforts, carry out activities such as Vanguard, Pioneer, Civilization, Volunteer Service, Integrity Commitment, Co creation and Co construction, and demonstrate the corporate image of integrity, service to society, and co creation of a better life.
The fourth is to clearly adhere to the economic benefits of project management. According to the project manager's overall supervision, deputy professional alignment, and hierarchical control, we will decompose and compact economic responsibilities, accurately calculate engineering budgets, integrate industrial procurement, finance, and taxation, implement comprehensive management informatization, open up sources and reduce costs, reduce costs and increase efficiency, establish an economic target responsibility system, let everyone manage their own finances, cultivate meticulously, and achieve the goal of value creation and sharing through co creation and progress.
Secondly, being an excellent project manager should also continuously improve work methods.
1. To adapt to the increasing responsibilities of the project department. The responsibilities of the current project department have undergone new changes compared to traditional project departments. Not only do we need to fulfill our basic responsibilities of fulfilling contracts and increasing efficiency, but we also need to expand our operations, drive market development through on-site management, and establish good relationships with all parties involved through project construction as a link. We need to strengthen team building, cultivate professional talents in various fields, and strive to do a good job in a project, leading a group of backbone. At the same time, it is necessary to carry out project cultural construction, and develop project cultural management plans from the aspects of party building guidance, people-oriented, civilized construction, and image identification. There are four aspects: performance improvement, business expansion, team building, and project culture.
2. We need to do a solid job in technical management. Internal technical management of a project is the foundation, and we often talk about consolidating the foundation. For a project, it means doing a solid job in technical management. First, we need to do a good job in internal technical management, and then use sufficient energy to handle external relations and change negotiations. In the preparation of implementation plans and the determination of major technical solutions for projects, it is necessary to have one's own unique insights and humbly listen to others' opinions and suggestions. When necessary, organize reviews to avoid errors in major technical solutions. On the basis of having some experience in similar projects, it is also necessary to have innovative spirit and consciousness according to specific situations, and avoid blindly applying and sticking to conventions. In terms of cultivating technical personnel, it is necessary to organize more program discussions, technical exchange activities, and various training work, and timely disseminate the company's training content to promote the rapid development of technical personnel.
3. Strive for the understanding and support of project stakeholders. The external relationships that need to be dealt with mainly include owners, supervisors, designers, etc. Different regions have different work habits, and it is not easy to generalize. However, one basic point is that regardless of which party we are dealing with, we must treat them as "customers and markets". We are the enterprise, they are the customers, and the purpose of the enterprise is to make profits. Do not expect others to take responsibility for us. Only by doing one's own thing well can one win the support of others.
4. Have confidence in negotiation management and change. In terms of negotiation management and change, early participation and research are necessary. In terms of attitude towards change design, efforts should be made to strive for it, even if the direct benefits obtained are not significant. Through changes, construction is facilitated, relationships with owners, designers, and supervisors are strengthened, the external environment is softened, and project management is also facilitated. We need to strengthen contract and data management, and create compliant and harmonious labor relations.
Once again, to become an excellent project manager, one must possess the following basic qualities.
One must master solid business knowledge and have the ability to continuously learn. Whether it is the project chief engineer or other professional leaders, solid business knowledge is the prerequisite for all work. If one is not proficient in their own business and has only a superficial understanding, their work style may become superficial and abstract. Arranging work may be detached from reality, and they may hesitate when making decisions, which can be detrimental to their work.
Secondly, one must possess excellent work style. A good work style needs to be gradually exercised, precipitated, and accumulated during the work process. For technical managers, it is mainly reflected in the following aspects: advocating pragmatism and opposing complacency; Advocate daily completion and oppose procrastination and laxity; Work rigorously and meticulously, oppose carelessness; Serious and responsible in work, opposed to perfunctory responsibilities.
Three must have good personal qualities. To be fair and upright, evaluate people and things from the perspective of facts, rather than judging based on personal likes and dislikes. Be broad-minded and not narrow-minded. The basic point should be to improve personal qualities. Do not overly value the small power and benefits in front of you, and start from the long-term development of the individual. To lead by example and treat others with sincerity, one should be upright and not follow orders; even if one is not upright, they should not obey orders. One should do what one demands of oneself, and refrain from doing what others do not.
