About Project Manager

The project manager advocates for the program management constituency in the MSF Team Model. The project manager’s main goal is to deliver business value within the agreed schedule and budget. The project manager is charged with planning and scheduling duties including developing project and iteration plans, monitoring and reporting status, and identifying and mitigating risk. The project manager is also expected to consult with business analysts to plan scenarios and quality of service requirements for an iteration, consult with architects and developers to estimate work, consult with testers to plan testing, and facilitate communication within the team. A person assigned to this role should be added to the Project Administrator permissions group. This allows them to do all that they need to perform their function, such as create new projects, add people to the project team, and start a team build.
