The Critical Role of an LMS Project Manager during Implementation

The LMS project manager is your “significant other” during the LMS implementation project. They’re your main point of contact on the LMS vendor’s team as they manage the vendor’s side of the project.

The LMS project manager works closely with the association’s project manager whether that’s someone on the association staff or a consultant who’s managing the project. Before the kick-off meeting, they learn all they can about the association’s requirements, operations, and processes from the LMS business analyst.

The internal responsibilities of the LMS project manager are similar to the internal responsibilities of the association project manager.

The LMS project manager (PM) assembles the vendor’s project team and assigns team roles and responsibilities in alignment with the association’s project plan. They make sure everyone understands what’s expected from each of them. During the project, they provide their team with direction and guidance when needed.
