Project Director Responsibilities

A Project Director is the primary contact person for a project. The Director is responsible for scheduling meetings, preparing agendas, facilitating communication, and seeking approval or authorization when necessary. The Director works with project group members to:

• Articulate the goals of the project
• Develop an action plan, including a scope statement, task list, and timeline
• Assign responsibilities for implementing the plan

The Director's responsibilities also include tracking strategic decisions related to the project, and monitoring and ensuring that the tasks undertaken are within the scope of the project plan.

Project groups are encouraged to:

• Post meeting minutes to org.library.minutes
• Ask LIT Operations to create a distribution list to facilitate communication among the group
• Provide a project web site that lists the project group members, and records the goals, plans, strategic decisions, and periodic progress reports
• Confer with supervisors to ensure that timelines are realistic if the time allotted to project work will be substantial
