"Expert Auctions Yield Superior Results"
Optimal Auctions has a formal Product Development Process that is used to implement customized changes to our OptimalCommerceTM platform and to deliver our professional solutions. It is essential to share the documented process and to clearly define roles and responsibilities of the team members.
Project Managers contribute to the process in the following ways:
Ensure cross-functional coordination
There is a lot of coordination and communication necessary when implementing an expert auction. It is important the deliverables are not handled in an ad hoc fashion but instead items are the clear responsibility of one person on the team.
Ensure communication
There is a consistent owner from phase to phase of the project whose main responsibility is to ensure that all cross-functional and cross-organizational work is completed. This communication responsibility ensures that the feedback and information is passed on to all members of the team quickly and efficiently.
Manage resource contention
No matter how good the planning, there will be changes to the scope and degree of the project and all team members are likely to face resource constraints. It is crucial to have good information on how a project is progressing so that high priority tasks are focused on. A Project Manager is the first person to identify the change in resource requirements necessary to complete the project.
Optimal Auctions uses a formal software and project development methodology because it is the only way to ensure that quality products and solutions can be delivered on time and on budget.
