  • The challenges of doing project management are always present. These includes providing adequate information and communication avenues for the team members as well as the ability to track deadlines and progress. The project manager oversees all actions and activities being done. Project management within Medical Devices differ from various industries. One main reason I can think of is the regulations. Project Managers must be conscious of FDA regulations at all times of the project to ensure the device is made to be safe and effective. Also, all progress must be documented appropriately to ensure traceability. Project Managers within this industry also have to manage the expertise of several different backgrounds and decipher the languages of different team members. The project manager is the composer while the team members are the players. They must conduct well and provide not only the right cues but facilitate the right environment to allow for effective and efficient work to be done.
