How do I work in a project? What is my role?
Project Methodology
Project work is a lot about self management and communication. It is about filling the role you've agreed in the project group you will take. In practice it is about being active and taking responsibility, doing prioritizing, scheduling, taking notes, keeping everyone informed of your task status etc. Most of all it is management of your own feeling of uncertainty when you're in charge of the outcome.
