Still Between the Boxes -- Jack Vinson comments on yesterday's posting about arrows...
"I like Frank's claim that project managers should be the people responsible for understanding the hand-offs and making sure they are smooth."
For clarity about what I'm claiming or not, it's important that the project manager understand the handoffs, but they not THE only ones responsible for that understanding. For every handoff in a project, three people need to understand them clearly -- the provider, the receiver, and the project manager. IMHO, it's the PM's responsibility to make sure the other two understand and agree to them, whether the PM understands their detail or not.
