With the advent of the cloud era, Big data (Big data) is also attracting more and more attention. More and more governments, enterprises and other institutions are beginning to realize that data is becoming the most important asset of the organization, and the ability to analyze data is becoming the core competitiveness of the organization. Similarly, in the field of project management in the enterprise, big data exists important value, as a project manager in the era of big data, and what are the necessary conditions required?

Methodology/Steps

College Graduation and Continuing Education

In the research I have conducted on Big Data Project Manager positions, many of the prerequisites I have encountered for Big Data Project Manager positions are a Master's Degree or Ph.D. in Operations Research, Science or Engineering. If a college education is not immediately available due to project time and budget constraints, it is time to look for the growing number of college programs related to Big Data and vendor education.

Training and Professional Development Management Experience

In some large metropolitan areas, it is impossible to keep up with the demand for big data graduation and continuing education knowledge alone, so a project manager with a background in training can play an important role in creating in-house training in big data for their organization. Project managers also need to manage the continuing education and professional development of their Big Data teams to ensure a smooth employee and overall effort. When budget time is restored, indicating training needs becomes a huge challenge in generating good business results from Big Data training.

Process Development Experience

Big Data requires current Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) and other related processes such as implementation to make changes. Projects with process development experience will play an important role in organizing the application of existing processes to Big Data. This process work requires leadership as Big Data moves into the prototype research phase to ensure that Big Data projects are converted to production.

Designing for risk mitigation for Big Data development requires more process development and project management techniques than those involved in the project delivery process alone.

Cross-functional team management experience

Big Data project teams are not the same as the traditional software development or engineering teams you have led in the past. Big Data project teams include multidisciplinary talent such as engineering, operations, business analytics and even power users. The core mission of the team is to make sense of all the data; if you're leading a big data project, you must lead multi-disciplinary talent to successfully achieve that goal.

Marketing and sales skills

With all the potential changes in big data and new businesses emerging, you'll need marketing and sales skills in order to fulfill your job as a big data project manager. It's easy to get lost in big data analytics, but a project manager for client-facing tasks should be able to help with proposals, sales representations, and client briefings. There are also the classic consultative sales calls, where the project manager accompanies the company in selling and presenting its big data technology solutions to potential clients. Additionally, the big data team must sell its services and judge the investment behind them to incorporate management and departments that benefit from big data.

Technology skills and performance

Project managers begin to address in getting into Big Data, each member of the team needs to be passed on one by one. The current state of Big Data also requires a lot of experience, which is another reason why project managers need to have at least some technical skills. These technical skills may come from previous experience (the Big Data Project Manager may be selected from the company's operations or technical department) and created from internal and manufacturer training.

Big Data offers many opportunities for experienced program managers to play a tooling role in creating a Big Data foundation and to develop a cutting-edge team with a blend of programmatic and operational practices.

Consulting Technology

Project managers with a background and experience in consulting internal and external customer solutions can find a home in the world of big data. With big data opening up so widely, project managers need to oversee the ever-emerging areas of enterprise data management, databases, and operational information, and be able to consult with clients and upper management on the direction of big data and how it can be leveraged in operations and projects. You will also be able to play a role in recommending optional data management programs, internal projects and external client strategies.
