QUESTION 9 OF 29

What are some of the key indicators you use to determine if a project is falling behind schedule?

One of the IT project manager's critical responsibilities is to keep the project on schedule. To do this, you should be familiar with some key indicators which provided information as to the status of a project and whether it is behind or ahead of schedule. You probably already recognize this as an operational question that determines how you go about doing your job. Keep in mind that operational questions are best answered directly and briefly and that you should anticipate follow-up questions.

"I spend a lot of time and resources, making sure that the projects I manage to stay on schedule. I employ tools such as the agile methodology, pert charts, excel spreadsheets, and other techniques. Some indicators that a project is slowing down include incomplete tasks, feedback from the project team, resources we're waiting on, and requests from project stakeholders for additional time to complete their assigned tasks. Once I recognize these, I immediately take steps to accelerate the project and get it back on schedule."
