long time ago when just starting out in web project management I remember a mentor of mine giving me a line to use in an interview when he heard the Head of Web Development would be in on the interview, he told me to make sure I say: My role as a Web Project Manager is to make the web developer’s jobs stress free. At the time I thought this was just a fancy little trick to make the guy give me an interview gold star from his point of view, however, in my subsequent years as a Web Project Manager I’ve come to realise this wasn’t just a nice line to use – it’s actually one of the core principles of being a good Web Project Manager and actually extends further than web developers.
