Depends what they're managing to be honest - if TM1's a small part of their role then technical skills are not that key but if the role's a full time TM1 PM then yes, a decent understanding of the system is invaluable otherwise the TM1 resource will run rings round him / her. Sadly with TM1, many of the times that things take feel the wrong way round - ie, what sounds simple is often very time consuming and what sounds horrid is often quite quick. A PM has to be able to reasonably challenge on timescales and this can only be done if a good understanding of the system exists.
Also, technical milestone verification needs to be able to take place. Often with TM1 builds, it'll get split into sections and without the ability to verify progress, you can end up with egg on your face. Eg, he / she should be able to understand what feeders are without having to understand the technical specific feeds that need to take place in a system. Otherwise you can end up with TM1 resource claiming 80% of cubes are fully fed as 8 out of 10 are fed but those 8 might be tiny in comparison to the remaining two giving a false answer. These skills can be trained reasonably easily for any IT PM though.
I would however point out that a good knowledge of the business and the requirement is probably more important in a number of cases - dropping a PM into a technical (in terms of both TM1 and the Financial requirement) project who does not have a grounding in both areas can often be a recipe for disaster.
The most key thing though is having a strong PM who will stand up to the Project Customers and Sponsors. Nothing kills a TM1 project stone dead more than incomplete requirements, late changes, scope creep and subject matter expert unavailability, etc which is not transferred onto the plan with impact analysis. A strong PM who will ensure that these factors are identified, measured and tracked through to conclusion is the main requirement in my opinion otherwise it'll end up with a project being delivered with the TM1 resource being unfairly blamed.
Just my 2p. |
