The Role of the Program Manager in NAVELEX Field Activities.

Abstract

Program Management as practiced at the NAVELEX Field Activities is quite different than Program Management as taught at Defense Systems Management College and as practiced at Headquarters Project Management Offices. The Field Activity Program Manager is more a Coordinator than a Program Manager. He is responsible for coordinating the efforts of many functional codes but does not have the direct authority often found in a Headquarters Program Management Office. This paper highlights these differences and outlines what the duties/responsibilities of the NAVELEX Field Activity Program Manager should be, recommends an organization and relates the Program Manager to this organization and the functional codes.
