Making sure everyone involved with a project knows their role is a crucial part of a successful outcome. Defining the roles at the outset of the project can help ensure that the project flows smoothly. There is a lot of crossover among the different roles for a project. Finding ways to improve clarity about these roles is part of being a great project manager. One way to create clarity and unity at the outset of a project is by having project stakeholders fill out a questionnaire. Anything that could cause confusion about who's responsible for a certain task should be decided upon at the beginning of the project. This will help bring everyone on the project into lockstep. Eliminating confusion about the various roles on a project is important. There can oftentimes be a lot of overlap and crossover between roles and tasks. Defining who is responsible for what tasks will help the project run efficiently. --- Featuring Pam Butkowski on The Digital Project Management Podcast Learn more: https://thedpm.com/
