A Study of Civilian Personnel Problems Related to the Establishment of Army Project/Product Manager Offices. Executive Summary.

Abstract

The Project Manager concept is envisioned as a dynamic, fast moving organized program office staffed with highly competent personnel, capable of making timely and intelligent decisions throughout the Defense Systems Acquisition Cycle. The civilian personnel system which is required to support the Project Manager with civilian personnel of the required caliber and on a timely basis is not regarded as a dynamic, fast moving organization. This report highlights some of the problems as envisioned by the PM and further explains some of the problems from the civilian personnel system viewpoint. There are problems in the support of PM offices with civilian personnel and these problems affect the ability of the PM to maintain complete and continuous control of his program. (Author)
