FAQ
What is the difference between this and a Project Coordinator?
A project coordinator tracks timelines, prepares status reports, and keeps documentation organized, useful support but not accountable for outcomes. A project manager owns the budget, makes the tradeoff decisions when things go wrong, and answers for whether the project actually succeeded.
What should we probe for in the interview?
Ask about a project that went badly and what they did about it, not one that went smoothly. Anyone can manage a project with no problems, the value of a PM shows up when scope creeps or a vendor misses a deadline.
How do we write a job ad that filters out under-qualified applicants?
Specify the actual scope: budget size, team headcount, whether they will manage vendors or clients directly. A vague "project management experience required" line gets flooded with coordinators looking for a title upgrade.
