How to find adequate project managers?

Question

Project management

Need advice on the search, selection and control of project managers.
Projects – website development on Bitrix.
Freelance programmers.
How to work with project managers?
How to look for them? How to control them?

Answer 1

How to search - on fl.ru :-)
How to build work - through any project management system. In Bitrix24, for example.
How to control - Create a project. Describe it in detail. You create tasks inside the project, describe what needs to be done for each task, what result should be, what are the deadlines. If necessary, provide tasks with checklists.
The manager closes the tasks, you check and accept or not. See how things are done by deadlines, etc.
For example: Project development of an online store. Describes what you already know from the client. Set the task for the project manager - to find out from the customer what design he needs and formulate all the customer's requirements in the form of a clear technical specification.
The second task is to order a wireframe/prototype/sketch according to the received TOR, and approve it from the client. The third task is to order a design from an approved prototype.
Etc. This is of course a very simplified example and it is desirable to break the tasks into smaller ones.
To manage project managers, you yourself need to understand the process well and know Bitrix.

Answer 2

Have you already tried working with developers directly?
Managers, who, apparently, have already come across inadequate, and it is necessary to control them, create additional communication, which increases the implementation time.
Account managers for clients + developers should be able to manage if the process is more or less openly set up

Answer 3

Some strange questions. It is necessary to discuss the rules of work of the manager and the rules of the project. Define the manager's accountability points in front of you, and let it work. Based on the results of the reports, it will be clear when risks occur and whether it is worth intervening. Everything is simple and obvious.
This is the basic principle of management - to plan, to control. So plan the work of the manager.

Answer 4

Need:
Such employees can be found by posting a vacancy on your website + on specialized (hh.ru) resources + by asking for acquaintances from this industry. If ethics and the situation allow, hunt from competitors (the sites post photos and names of employees, and by name it is very easy to contact any person, especially from this industry).
How do you rate suitability?
An adequate manager should be able to manage resources (including deadlines) and risks.
If with the first point - a little time and adjustment to the new team is enough, then with the second point - you can fill it only with your own experience. The more experience, the less problems you will have.
