   • Determine, monitor, and review all project economics, including costs, staffing requirements, resources, and risk.
   • Ensure that the project stays on plan by identifying issues and actions and leading team members to resolve issues and complete actions; taking the initiative to make informed decisions consistent with achieving project objectives.
5. Reporting and Quality Assurance
   • Monitor and report on the status of project efforts (including weekly time reporting, issue management, and risk prevention/mitigation).
   • Ensure quality standards are met by conducting regular project reviews, audits, and assessments.
