Responsibilities of Project Manager, Quality Manager and Project Controller. a Critical Comparison

Seminar paper from the year 2012 in the subject Business economics - Business Management, Corporate Governance, grade: 1,3, University of applied sciences, Munich, course: International Project Management, language: English, abstract: As project management includes also the tasks of project controlling and quality
management, in large projects these tasks are often assigned to other individuals
than the project manager. This may be also the case if the project manager has no affinity to numbers, given a more technical background or education. The scope of this work is to clarify the responsibilities of the project manager, the project controller and the Quality Manager. Furthermore an analysis and comparison is necessary to determine, if the tasks and responsibilities are clearly defined, delimitated and assigned. This will identify, if there are overlapping areas of responsibility, if there occurs conflict potential within the project team, and which success criteria are necessary to reduce it.
