How to Make the Project Coordinator Role EFFECTIVE

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Project Coordinators, Project Controllers, Project Officers, Project Admins - large projects need someone skilled with data and administration to support the team and the Project Manager. It can be a career role for some, but for most, it is a learning stage in your career. But, what is the job and what do you need to do, to do it well?

Thank you, Mike. I got stuck in a job that offered NO path to being a PM so I need an easier entry to sharpen my tools.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Good luck - there are plenty of ways to get the skills you need. I hope you find one that suits you and your needs!

I've got an interview for a PC role in 7 days, it will be my first PM role. I'll be taking notes and watching more than once. Thank you.

[@Onlinepmcourses]

You're very welcome. Good Luck!

Thank you for this. I am studying project management and planning to take a pc role to learn more and manage my own project in the future.

Hi Mike, I have a PC, doing all that you have mentioned - increasingly they wonder what the project manager is doing when they seem to be doing the bulk of the work; such as scheduling, tracking budget/resource hours etc. Can you please make a video exploring the differential between the roles of PM and PC. Thank you in advance. (FYI I’m based in the UK and working on UK Gov projects)

[@Onlinepmcourses]

Good topic. I've added it to my backlog, but it may be a while 😕 So, in short, with a good PC, the PM can focus on strategic issues, team leadership, dealing with client/sponsor and governance tiers, and stakeholder engagement.

Many thanks this Mike.

3:00 to 5:00 What can I do to start learning these skills?

[@Onlinepmcourses]

You need a good, basic, project management course or book. If you like the style of my videos, then my own courses will be ideal for you. Have a look at my core PM programs: onlinepmcourses.com/core-project-management-courses/ - particularly the Skills Mastery level - maybe the Immersion Program My basic book on the topic is How to Manage a Great Project: On budget. On target. On time. geni.us/4Iz6M
