Don t overlook the fact that you might not be the right choice to be the PM Some engineer make good PMs others don t. The skill sets required for the two disciplines are much different. KEEP THE PROJECT STABLE Here are a few rules to observe Don t change the tasks. Keep the specification hereafter referred to as spec stable after the project starts. The PM should give all parties the chance to change the spec up to the point when it is reviewed and development begins. If the spec must change rewrite the project plan to accommodate the changes. Changing the spec is the second fastest way to scuttle a project s schedule and budget. Don t mess with the resources. Yes this is the fastest way to scuttle a project s schedule and budget. Do not shift out resources once they have been allocated to a project. Don t borrow people don t borrow equipment and don t borrow space.

The User s Manual for PMs A checklist is provided at the end of this section that can serve as your guide throughout your robot project. The following paragraphs explain this checklist. PROJECT MANAGEMENT 7 STARTING A PROJECT Management currently identifies the need for a robot and determines the general requirements. This information .
