Task and Schedule Management: The PMO Intern working with the Project Manager will create written plans to manage and track tasks across multiple initiatives. When planning the work, together the PMO Intern and the Project Manager must use their technical knowledge, as well as, solicit input from the technical staff, business units and other IT support areas to assure the time-frames and expectations are realistic. This includes developing resource plans necessary to complete projects and work with the Managers to provide those resources.
Communication: The PMO Intern and Project Manager will frequently poll the project team for status of activities, providing that status to IS&T management in a timely and accurate manner, while reviewing the tasks to ensure completeness, validity of results and compliance with Foot Locker Project methodology. Interface with the users to ensure all involved are aware of status and potential issues. Develop a positive partnership with the user community. Any issues that could or will impact the overall project milestones need to be communicated immediately.
Accountability: It is required that the associates assigned to project tasks understand what they are to do, what their priorities are and that they are accountable to complete the tasks with a high degree of quality within the time-frames established.
