While we have a great team of staff to guide us through the process, it\u2019s nearly impossible to expect them to remember every detail of every individual student\u2019s progress. That\u2019s where our Project Management (PM) Team comes in.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Digital Corps has been practicing project management since about 2016, with primarily staff managing everything, and students working as Junior Project Managers (JPMs). A dedicated team of Project Management students was established in 2017. Bringing in students with great organizational, communication, and problem-solving abilities helped establish better flow for projects at the Corps.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-is-project-management\">What is project management?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pmi.org\/about\/learn-about-pmi\/what-is-project-management\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">Project <\/a>Management Institute says that project management is \u201cThe use of specific knowledge, skills, tools and techniques to deliver something of value to people.\u201d PMs are needed in many fields of work, like construction, information technology, and business. Their responsibilities vary throughout the \u201cproject lifecycle\u201d to ensure team members stay on track and utilize their time efficiently.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.northeastern.edu\/graduate\/blog\/project-manager-responsibilities\/#:~:text=In%20the%20broadest%20sense%2C%20project,on%20budget%2C%20and%20within%20scope.\" target=\"_blank\">Northeastern University<\/a> identifies five phases that PMs typically refer to throughout a project\u2019s lifecycle. The phases are initiating, planning, executing, monitoring\/controlling, and closing. In project management, these are viewed less as \u201csteps\u201d and more as \u201cprocesses,\u201d as a project can go back and forth between phases of work.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/digitalcorps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/20211112_175521-1024x768.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1132\" \/><figcaption><em>Each semester, PMs lead the final session of new-hire onboarding to introduce students to the way projects work at the Corps.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-we-compare-to-other-agencies\">How do we compare to other agencies?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Krista Finley, the Digital Corps\u2019 Project Management Team Lead, has been doing account and project management for over five years.

You wear your client hat and talk to them and be able to bring it back to your team and tell them the news,\u201d Finley said. There\u2019s also a necessity to be quick on your feet and being a problem solver. \u201cYou have to be able to figure things out. You need to be ready to pivot, or to learn new things.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Finley says that the Digital Corps\u2019 agency-style of project work is similar to the way other agencies work. Some big differences are project length, team structures, and approaches to work. Many agencies have quick turnaround times for projects that constantly rotate, while the Digital Corps has a set number of projects in a semester that generally take the entire time.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"what-do-the-pm-students-do\">What do the PM students do?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">PMs are often asked what they get paid to do all day. The answer goes far beyond \u201clooking at calendars.\u201d&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Drew Wiltberger was hired onto the PM Team in the Spring of 2020. As a Media major, he was already familiar with the process of producing videos, so he had a bit of knowledge about some projects he\u2019d be expected to handle at the Corps, but didn\u2019t have a lot of understanding of what skills he would need to be a PM.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-columns is-layout-flex wp-container-core-columns-is-layout-8f761849 wp-block-columns-is-layout-flex\">\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"500\" height=\"500\" src=\"\/digitalcorps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/drew.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1133\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2022\/04\/14200216\/drew.jpg 500w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2022\/04\/14200216\/drew-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bsu-wpe-blogs.s3.amazonaws.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/50\/2022\/04\/14200216\/drew-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 500px) 100vw, 500px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-column is-layout-flow wp-block-column-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">As he went through training, he realized how much of project management was a hands-on process. \u201cIt\u2019s a lot of softer skills. It\u2019s about communication, a lot of understanding logistics. Being able to strategize and communicate with people is important,\u201d Wiltberger said.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Being a PM at the Digital Corps involves dedicating a lot of time to learn about the work that each team does. As part of PM training, each week they\u2019re assigned to look at the various projects a team is working on and study their processes. This part of training allows PMs to better understand how fast certain tasks can get done and how to plan out realistic project timelines.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<hr class=\"wp-block-separator\" \/>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"how-do-we-manage-the-projects\">How do we manage the projects?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The Digital Corps has used a few tools to track work time and progress on projects.

The training lasts the whole semester and teaches students how to manage project meetings, notes, and schedules.

Being a JPM requires being an effective communicator between team members and PMs. \u201cBoth regarding making sure everyone is on the same understanding level, but also sometimes you need to have those conversations, like, \u2018Hey, this is overdue, where is it?\u2019\u201d Leonard said.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Having the knowledge and training to be a JPM is a useful skill to have in the workplace and in academics; that\u2019s why the Corps allows any student to become a JPM, to broaden their skillset and prepare them for the future. Being able to organize and plan a project helps ease the distribution of work and puts all team members on the same page.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"\/digitalcorps\/wp-content\/uploads\/2022\/04\/CorpsFriday-014-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1136\" \/><figcaption><em>The PMs go through training to learn to be better communicators.<\/em>&nbsp;<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Managing over 50 students with varying work schedules is a large task for a handful of staff that already have a lot on their plate.
