The Finance Director has been appointed as the executive of the Health and Safety Training Project. She likes to be involved personally in all projects and authorize all large contracts. She has therefore asked the project manager to provide daily updates on project progress so that she can make decisions throughout each stage.
Is this an appropriate action, and why?
The executive's role in a project should be more strategic, guiding, and supervisory rather than involved in day-to-day operations. Micromanaging could undermine the project manager's authority and hinder efficient project management. The project manager should have the autonomy to manage day-to-day activities, while the executive's involvement should be limited to high-level decisions and oversight. Regular but not daily progress reports should be sufficient for the executive to stay informed and make necessary decisions.
D is correct
D. No, because the executive should give the project manager enough space to manage the project day-to-day
