Project Management duties on Web Developer Project

As a Project Managment Leader in a Web Developers work shop what are the main duties of a Project Manager?
Here is what I have so far:
1st Step - Gather Requirements
2nd Step - List the Tasks which would include the Database design, Data Modeling, Scripts, and Testing.
3rd Step - Define each Task Duration (or estimated Completion date)
4th Step - Assign Resources and/or Technology, Also give out max units of each resource to define how much time they will be spending on the Project.
Also give Estimate Project Completion date.
5th Step - Define Milestones when specific Tasks should be completed
6th Step - Plan and set up Test environment
Please advise.

Step 7 - go back and reanalyse requirements as the client has changed their mind
Step 8 - Shift estimate of Project completion date back due to unforseen complexities
Step 9 - Scrap the test plan in the interests of getting it out the door quickly
Step 10 - rewrite the entire application from scratch using .net technologies
But seriously - don't forget to factor in for the unforseen. These projects always take longer than anyone thinks they should. Don't set your milestone dates in concrete. "I love deadlines. I love the 'whoosh' sound they make as they go past."
Seriously that I think is what makes or breaks a project manager. Not the pretty pictures and unrealistic timescale diagrams that they churn out, that everyone then faithfully ignores, but the ability to deal with issues as they arise

  • Learning Project Managment for the web

    Can any one point me to some good readups on "project managment cycle"
    the only good readups I have found so far are from www.macromedia.com
    I'v got to do a project laying everything out, scrapbook to design
    process etc right up to the actual web page creation.
    Chears for any help! Phill:-)

    Just in case a visual will help you, here's a quick tutorial about scaling for web:
    1) Go to File > Save for Web
    2) This will open a dialog with lots of options for saving.
    The area marked as "A" is where you would choose the file type for your image, which, as John said, would be a .gif or a .jpg, or a .png if your document has transparency.
    The section Marked "B" is where you can easily resize your document. Unless you click on the chainlink icon beside the dimension boxes, your image will automatically retain its proportions when you enter a new value for height or width. Also be sure to tick the "Clip to Artboard" option so you don't get any extra objects that may be lingering in your workspace.
    I would also agree with John when he says to recompose in an artboard in the desired dimensions of your final image intended for web. And you're exactly right about the multiple artboards for different devices. In the screen shot below, I have an artboard in the dimensions of your original document (1022x1021) and one for the dimensions of an iPhone screen. This makes it really easy to modify compositions based on the sizes and proportions of different devices.
    Here is a link about preparing graphics for multiple devices: http://codebycoffee.com/2010/12/08/preparing-graphics-for-multiple-mobile-platforms/
    I hope this helps! If you need more web assistance, don't hesitate to post in the Dreamweaver forum!

  • Project management tools for complex publishing project?

    I was wondering what project management tools people use for managing complex InDesign projects? Software-oriented project management tools, or are there tools specifically for publishing projects?

    The "Yes" is a link to a list of them. There are also a number of web-based services like 37 Signals.

  • Access non-DC project from a DC Web Dynpro project

    Hi,
    I have a DC Web Dynpro project that needs to access a non-DC Java project. As I cannot create a public part of the non-DC Java project then add that public part to the used DC list of the DC Web Dynpro project, I add the non-DC Java project to the build path of the DC Web Dynpro project. That way I can do the coding without any issue, but when I build the Web Dynpro DC, I keep getting building error saying that the Web Dynpro DC doesn't see the classes in the non-DC Java project.
    How can I resolve this issue without switching the non-DC Java project to a DC?
    I am on NW04s.
    Thanks and Best Regards,
    Viet

    Hi Viet,
    There is a way to achieve your purpose, but at the same time, Iu2019m not sure that it will be exactly your requirement.  Anyways, herein, Iu2019m providing you a concept which we had used in our earlier project.
    You need to create a java file with the communication parameters for DC and non DC and after that create a jar file. Now, you create an external library DC of this jar file and publish it as public part with complication and assembly.
    Now, use this external library DC in your DC.
    Thanks

  • Which project management software is best, which project management software is best

    Which project management software is best for my macbook pro?

    In order to give you a solid recommendation, we'd need to know what needs you have.
    What type of project are you planning on managing?
    What size of team?
    Timeline?
    Extent?
    What are some things you need to manage (emails, phone calls, stages, tasks, phases, etc)?
    Without any of this, it's hard to give you a recommendation, as EVERYTHING will work on your MacBook Pro, especially if you have Windows dualbooted.
    However, I can tell you that the best project management software I've used to date (and continue using) is JobNimbus. It's both CRM and project management software, very easy to use, and the pricing is way lower than others I've seen.
    Give that a try (they have a 30-day trial) and try to reply back with more info so we can help you out a little bit better.
    Cheers

  • Enterprise Project Management with Empty (from tasks) Projects

    Project Management is not only about Gantt and schedule. It's about collaboration, status reporting, resource requirements risk management and budget management.
    Project Server supports us with all of that with features like resource plan, status reports, team sites and risk list. You can also manage budget and progress with unscheduled tasks
    Have any of you gone this way of managing the non-schedule project information on either empty projects (without tasks) or "grocery-list" projects (with tasks as budget/effort entries, but no schedule)?
    Thanks,

    Yes, I know clients that do this. Project Server has many uses :)

  • Project Manager screws up well organized project

    Take a completed PP project nicely organized with folders for content (sequences, clips,  audio, ae, graphics,etc). Use Project Manager to trim size so it can be archived for future use at a WAY smaller size then the original (which has lots of unused media in it).Reopen a month later for client changes.The folder that PM created is a bloody mess, because in just  takes all clips and dumps them in 1 folder during the trimming process. Very sloppy and unprofessional.

    I realize what you mean. I was simply saying that maintaining folder structures and file names on your PC is the workaround I use. That way I only need the project/raw footage archived instead of my whole project. Since I keep all my elements in the same folders/structures no matter what. Then if one of my co-workers needs to edit something I worked on I simply give them my project file and since they have all the elements file names and folder structures the same as me.
    They simply re-link the raw footage by getting it off one of our network servers. Then they are ready to begin editing.
    Which allows you to also archive or re-edit old projects with ease compared to project manager being sloppy with all your stuff.
    However I totally agree it would be better if the project manager allowed you to do this to begin with. I realize project mananger slops everything into one giant mess.
    That is why I started doing it the way I mentioned. It's not a perfect solution but it beats using project manager in its current state.
    So I apologize if I came accross in the wrong way.

  • Cant specify the Java Build Path in the Web Module Project

    hi,
    I have a problem while specify  the project dependencies in the Web Module Project.While opening the properties of the web module project i cant choose the Java Build Path.The only two options i have are design root path and web service consistency check builder.Does anybody know why its like that?do i hav to reinstall the SAP developer studio?
    With regards,
    Jaisamma Varghese

    Hi Jaisamma,
    I just tested this, and for me it works as expected, within all explorer/navigator views.
    Before reinstalling NWDS, check if the project itself may have some problem. Just create a new clean web module project and right-click on the project and try to access the BuildPath properties now. If it works, try to set up your project content again within this new project. Otherwise reinstalling NWDS may help.
    Hope it helps

  • The order of topics in the Project Manager is not reflected when creating a PDF for review.

    Can't seem to find an answer to this in the forums...
    Using RH10.
    In the Project Manager pod is a default 'Project Files' folder.
    Within that I have a 'Topics' folder in which my topic files reside.
    Under the View menu, I have selected 'By Topic Title'. I understand that this displays the topics by their title as opposed to their file name. I understand that this is a display toggle only, and has no relation to the order of the topics - the alternative toggle is 'By File Name'.
    Notice in the image below, my topics are displayed by topic title, but aren't in alphabetical order. ...yet.
    There's a button at the top of this window for changing the sort order to 'Sort by Name', which has the result below.
    Ok, so now the topics are displayed by topic title, and in alphabetical order.
    Question 1: If that button toggles the view to display topics in 'alphabetical order', what on earth is the other order called? It's certainly not in order of file name, as I've checked a bunch of the topic filenames, and can't see any pattern/order to the this structure.
    Question 2: When I go to create a PDF for review (via Review > Create PDF for Review), the window that appears displays all the topics available to me to select for review. However, they're displayed in this other 'odd' sort order instead of 'alphabetical' order. The Help menu says that this window reflects the order of topics as it finds them in the Project Manager. However, what seems to be actually happening is it's displaying the topics based on the view you have selected under the View menu (i.e. either 'View by Topic Title' or 'View by File Name'), and regardless of which view toggle you have selected, the order of the topics is only ever this 'odd' sort order. In other words, in the 'Create PDF for Review' window, it appears I can never see the topic list in alphabetical order. Furthermore, it appears that the only way I can resolve this is to go back into the Project Manager, switch to 'odd' sort order, and manually drag all the topics into alphabetical order. ...I have hundreds of topics.
    Is there some way I can quickly change this 'odd' sort order to 'alphabetical'? There must be some underlying file with this order of topics in it (hopefully).

    Hi there
    I don't have an immediate answer for Question 2, but for Question 1, the topic order is "User Defined" as you are able to click and drag topics to create any arrangement that suits you. This was something added as a result of user feedback. Enough users asked Adobe to allow them to arrange topics this way that they made it a reality. The logic escapes me as I'm a user that normally expects software to list things in either ascending or descending alphabetical order.
    Perhaps Peter will pop in with a nice explanation of the PDF for Review sorting and Adobe's logic behind it.
    Cheers... Rick

  • How assign a "Project Manager" for a new project?

    Hello,
    I need to know about the "Project Manager" in a new project.
    Does the "Resource Manager" build the team and assign a "Project Manager"?

    It totally depends on your organization process.
    Normally PMO creates project, build team,assign resources to tasks, then while save and  publish the projec assign Project manager as owner for the project plan.
    If you have Resource manager in your organization then he can build the team for the project publish it then PMO or project manager can assign the resource to the task then save and publish the plan. 
    IF project manager has idea about resources then he can also build the team and assign resource to the task.
    Note :- once PMO or resource manager build the team and publish the project then Project owner need to open the project plan add new field in the plan STATUS MANAGER and select his name for all task for which he will give the approval to the actual of the
    task send by resources.
    By default who ever will create project act as STATUS MANAGER for all the task.

  • Error in Interfacing Project Invoices to AR - No Active Project Manager

    I am getting an error while transferring a projects invoice to AR.
    I am running concurrent program 'PRC: Interface Invoices to Receivables' program from a responsibility that was created as per the client project security requirements.
    The output  gives an error message - 'No Active Project Manager Found'.
    Note:
    - The project manager is active on the project.
    - The person record of the project manager is active with an active HR assignment.
    - The project manager role is not end dated.
    When I run this same program from the standard Project Implementation Super User responsibility for the same project, the invoice gets interfaced to Receivables without any error.
    Why does this happen ?
    Is this concurrent program dependent on any menu / function / profile option ? If so, which one ?
    Regards,
    Prakash

    Hi Prakesh,
    Were you able to generate Invoice and AR Invoice Number in PJB?
    Try run Oracle Projects Invoice Data Collection Test n Oracle Projects (PA): Security Health Check
    check.

  • Facing Problem while adding Azure Project to existing C# web application

    Hi,
    I have a web application with 5 projects under one Solution. I want to publish this web application on Windows Azure, for that I have tried to add Windows Azure Cloud Service Project but this option is not appear in option list. But when I create new web
    application add Windows Azure Cloud Service Project option appeared. I didn't understand why this happened. I have also tried to migrate old code to new project but having error
    " The type or namespace name 'DataAnnotations' does not exist in the namespace 'System.ComponentModel' (are you missing an assembly reference?)"
    If I add this dll then more than 18000 error occures like control not found(The name 'lnkbtnNew' does not exist in the current context).
    Please help me out, I am struggling since couple of days.
    Thanks in advance.

    Hi,
    Please try the following steps, see if it helps.
    1. create new azure cloud service project (it is better to choose the same version of .netframework with your web application );
    2. right click the solution, add your web application as Existing Project
    3. Right click on the “Roles” node in the Cloud Service project and select “Add | Web Role Project in solution…”
    Please try to set the “Copy Local” to “True” in order to avoid assembly missing issue, see more at:

  • Project Management Audio

    Is there a way to just project management the Audio from a project so I can send it to mix?
    Adam

    Hey David, I'm sorry, I typed the wrong example in AE. In After Effects, there's an option to "Consolidate All Files." From the AE manual:
    To remove all duplicate footage items from a project, Choose File > Consolidate All Footage. After Effects considers footage items to be duplicates only if they use the same Interpret Footage settings.
    When a duplicate item is removed, layers that refer to the duplicate item are updated to refer to the remaining copy
    I'm looking for this in Premiere, without having to copy all the source in the Project Manager.

  • Premiere Pro CS6 Project Manager gives error & will not manage project - OS X Lion 10.7.5

    Premiere CS6 project manager reports  an error and will not manage my project. I have tried several times with both "Create New Trimmed Project" and " Collect Files and Copy to New Location". I have also tried to manage the project with options checked and unchecked (Include Preview Files, Include Audio Conform Files, Rename Media Files to Match Clip Names). Every time I try to manage the project, the process takes a few hours and then gives an error asking me to try again.
    The project is 90 minutes long and uses multiple footage formats:
    Sony FS100
    Sony NEX7
    Sony NEX-5n
    Canon C300
    Canon 5DmkII
    Panazonic HVX200
    My computer is:
    Processor  2 x 2.66 GHz 6-Core Intel Xeon
    Memory  12 GB 1333 MHz DDR3
    Graphics  ATI Radeon HD 5770 1024 MB
    Software  Mac OS X Lion 10.7.5 (11G63)
    Is this a bug, or are there specific things I can do to troubleshoot the problem? I have read of issues with AVCHD. I have confirmed all of my AVCHD folders are intact. Any other Ideas?
    THANKS!

    I have this same problem on a Mac with CS6. I was simple trying to archive a project using the "collect files" option. After five or six hours of troubleshooting (Thanks Adobe) I have narrowed it down to MXF clips that came over in a Final Cut EDL (Projects created in PP with MXF files seem to be fine).  In other words, as I was transitioning from FCP to Premiere Pro, I sent four or five projects out of FCP as an EDL, opened them in PP and continued to edit.  It seemed to work really well until I attempted to archive my media.  If there was a single raw MXF file in the timeline (Not the project panel for some reason) the Project Manager would give me the standard error:"An unknown error occurred during the Project Manager operation. Please save your project and retry the operation.".
    I have found two solutions that seem to work, both of which are a pain in the ax. 
    Option 1: Save the original project file only to an archive folder.  Then delete all the old timelines from the project, and save the project with a new name.  Create a new timeline and just drag all the raw video and audio into it. (Project Manager needs a timeline of some sort to archive) Then use the Project Manager to archive the modified project.  If I need the project in the future, I'll need to open the original PP project and relink all the media from the archived "media only" project folder. 
    Unbelievably, if you were to take this route and then re-edit the project in the future, it looks like you would run up against the same archiving issue AGAIN next time (At least using CS6). You'd have to go through all the steps above to archive it a second time. Depending on the size of your project, you may want to take option 2 and get the pain over with once-and-for-all.
    Option 2: If you only have a couple of MXF files in the timeline (in my case I had mostly renders from AE by the time I was done and THAT raw project had archived in AE just fine) you can export the raw MXF files to another format, then replace the media in your project panel.  Finally, use the Project Manager to archive the project like you should have been able to in the first place if Adobe had written the code well in the first place!
