Ever wondered what a project manager really does in a product design team and why it matters? In this blog post, Juha Salonsaari shares how a dedicated PM can transform the way projects run and deliver value not only to the team but also to the customer.
At Huld, the project manager is the one who keeps everything on track; making sure the team knows what to do, when, and how. Every day, they coordinate between designers, engineers, and other experts, sort out priorities, and solve problems before they slow things down.
The PM’s job is like being an orchestra conductor for the project: tracking progress, managing deadlines and budgets, and keeping communication clear between all parties from specialist to customer and other stakeholders. This means the team can focus on designing and building great products without getting bogged down in chaos, while customers get regular updates and someone watching over the whole process.
Project Manager’s Value to Customers
Sometimes customers wonder if they really need a Project Manager. Here’s why you do:
- Efficiency: Projects stay on track, on budget, and free from bottlenecks.
- Quality: Teams focus on the product itself, leading to fewer errors and better results.
- Risk Management: Risks are caught early, and surprises are handled without disruption.
- Communication: Everyone stays aligned through clear updates and open feedback loops.
- Documentation: Accurate records keep decisions transparent and make future projects easier.
At Huld, we’ve seen firsthand that projects with a dedicated PM go smoother for everyone, customers included. The PM works mostly behind the scenes, however, their impact is easy to see – better teamwork, more reliable deliveries, happier customers and better products.
