Saren Erdmann is an Information
Technology Project Manager for US
Bank. Saren’s primary responsibilities
include managing software installations
and enhancements for US Bank’s
branch locations. She identifies project
stakeholders, coordinates and runs all
project-related meetings and communications, documents each project,
and assesses risks and solutions that keep initiatives running as smoothly
as possible.
Because most of Saren’s stakeholders are located in remote offices, she
must coordinate with them via phone calls, e-mails, or instant messaging.
Saren is quick to note the dangers of miscommunication when
exchanging notes with colleagues in short digital texts. “Since the written word
can be interpreted in so many ways, it is very important to be clear,” she advises.
To write with clarity, Saren recommends keeping messages short and to the
point and using a professional tone. Her rule of thumb is that “no matter how
well you know someone, you must always maintain a level of professionalism
when sending written communication at work.” However, a little humor
carefully delivered to a friendly audience won’t hurt: “If I have been working
with someone for a long time and we have a personal relationship, my
work-related communications to them are slightly more relaxed, but still
business-appropriate.”
Project managers like Saren are agile at juggling correspondence. They
multitask, prioritize which items need an immediate response, and have a
strategy for managing items on the back burner. “I am bombarded with so
much correspondence on a daily basis that it is difficult to absorb everything
I receive right away. I am careful to archive all project documentation and
correspondence in a central location. If I need to refresh my memory or read an
original communication I missed, I can find the information in my files.”
Question
Research the word stakeholder. What is the original meaning? How is it used
in this profile?
