Discuss the role of a systems analyst as a project manager. (at least one thousand words) .... you need to interview an analyst/project manager ..show evidences ..

As what the presenters in the 2nd module presented, system analyst can be the person who is a problem solver, supporting expert, consultant and an agent for change.
In the third module, System analyst as what we presented can be a project manager.
First I would like to define what a project is, it was undertaken to produce an output for the benefits and advantage of the organization. Project is funded by the client in terms of resources and is worked in line with the timeframe agreed by both parties the client and developer. When doing a project it must have a management, when you say project management it was the discipline of planning, organizing, and managing resources to achieve specific goals and objectives in doing the project.
Project manager is also the person who is responsible in managing the project in which uses his knowledge in the field of project management. In our report we have enumerated some internal and external responsibilities of a project manager. When we say internal, it is about the responsibilities of the manager in the project, and external means it was the responsibilities of the manager outside the project or commonly concerned with the resources, status of the project and etc.
In internal, project manager is responsible for identifying a project tasks and should build a work breakdown structure that is very useful for starting the project. Next, is to develop a project schedule.
Then, recruit and train your team members and assign them in the tasks that you have identified in the work breakdown structure that in line with your project schedule. Then, identify the possible risks that you may encounter during the development of the project and then assess it. Last is monitor and control the project deliverables and also verify its quality.
In external, project manager is responsible for reporting the status and the progress of each of the phase in developing the project, the manager is also responsible for establishing good working relationship with the clients and even with the team members. And another important responsibility is to identify the resource needs in developing project and must explain how to obtain those resources.
In Rhine Marketing, we have interviewed their IT personnel; Mr. Cris Abella only shared few of the hot points since it is almost similar to the qualities, attitudes and skills that systems analysts must be exercised.
