More and more companies are launching research and development projects with experts, researchers and developers in place at the beginning but harmonising research and development tasks, keeping deadlines, as well as internal and external communications are not in focus. This is explained by the fact that there is no such person – or there is but very overloaded – who could follow up with a major project while paying attention to all the above details. Those who have already been involved in R&D&I projects are fully aware that developing specifications and documentation is just a step among many others since traceability, testing, test feedbacks, supervising corrections, customer pilots and beta tests impose so many tasks that can only be efficiently managed by an experienced project manager.
A research and development team has many supporting means available to them that allow real time communication between the actors and ever new methodologies, methods and principles emerge. The majority of developers does not follow up with these new methods but a project manager who understands them, works on several projects and, through this, gains extensive experience, can select the best and most efficient means that are suitable to be used by the team.
Our team has already participated in numerous international projects where project members included Hungarian and foreign scholars, institutions, SMEs and corporations. The extensive experience we gained there could be a significant element of success in cooperating with us.
