There are plenty of tasks a person could do in their first two weeks as a new Project or Team Manager. \u00a0I have isolated some of the more important tasks that need to be addressed in the first two weeks of starting the new position. \u00a0Mind you these can vary depending on the size of team and the discussions with your new superior.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Discuss your role and management styles with new superior. \u00a0Ensure you are both on the same page.<\/li>\n
  2. Become intimate with company policies<\/li>\n
  3. Get to know everyone on the team including their name, responsibilities
    and what they have done in the past<\/li>\n
  4. Review all project descriptions and time lines<\/li>\n
  5. Find out what each team member is currently working on and where they are in the time lines<\/li>\n
  6. Compare where each team member is at on the time lines with the actual time line<\/li>\n
  7. Discuss progress with My Boss<\/li>\n
  8. Team Meeting\n
