			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Good question, someone asked me a few days ago and it got me thinking about the essentials. So what does a good PM do actually?</p>
<p>Here&#8217;s a list of <strong>good PM behaviors</strong> that I think are important:</p>
<ol>
<li><strong>communicate</strong> with all the people who are influenced by the project</li>
<li>monitor and control the <strong>scope</strong>, <strong>budget</strong> and <strong>planning</strong> constrains</li>
<li><strong>understand the content</strong> of the project in enough detail to communicate, monitor and control <strong>efficiently</strong></li>
<li>create situations that allow the team to <strong>focus</strong> on the project goals</li>
<li><strong>help people</strong> to get the feedback they need to <strong>grow</strong> (not the same as coaching)</li>
</ol>
<p>To give you some context on my list, in <a href="http://nascom.be" target="_blank">my company</a> we create teams around a project most of the time, it&#8217;s what the <a href="http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/193069945X?ie=UTF8&#038;tag=blogheymansor-21&#038;linkCode=as2&#038;camp=1634&#038;creative=19450&#038;creativeASIN=193069945X">Project Management Body of Knowledge</a><img src="http://www.assoc-amazon.co.uk/e/ir?t=blogheymansor-21&#038;l=as2&#038;o=2&#038;a=193069945X" width="1" height="1" border="0" alt="" style="border:none !important; margin:0px !important;" /> would call a <em>projectized organization</em>. </p>
