Project Manager, noun, the person in charge of the planning and execution of a particular project.Rather than looking after a “particular project”, PMs in the translation industry are constantly multitasking; developing processes and managing multiple projects in multiple languages. To do this you have to be organised; there are so many elements to deal with at any one time, that you need to follow processes and have a structure that works to get the job done on time, to cost and to scope.There are always problems to be solved in order to overcome the barriers and challenges that are undoubtedly going to arise, no matter the length of the project, and thinking outside of the box is a must. This means that translation PMs must be flexible; we manage changes and adjustments numerous times a day, and on a daily basis.
For any type of project, the number one reason for failure is a lack of communication. Translation PMs mustcommunicate at all times on all projects to all stakeholders whether it’s internal, external, to linguists, clients or management.
Whilst not essential, it’s useful to have a good understanding of languages in this industry; it’s definitely helpful when you’re on a difficult project, but specifically when working in languages you understand. At E-ging Solution, we also specialise in ‘verticals’ (particular industries) so that we can get to know particular processes for specific content, which is definitely a benefit to our customers.
With all of this activity going on, the best PMs manage to stay positive too; there’s no time to crumble under the pressure!
