Thanks for posting - it goes beyond the basics. Here are my points: As there are many type of project managers, depend of the post of project manager you are apply for, here are some other selected project manager questions that may be asked to you: • What are the project management tools that you have worked with? – like: MS project • What are business intelligence tools that you have worked with? – like: SAP or Bann • What type of prioritizations methods that you have taken? • Explain project’s risk factors and how did you monitor these factors during a project life cycle? (i.e. red flags) • Have you managed directly or indirectly a team work? • How did you handle multi disciplinary project? - Matrix management (indirect management) or cross-company project management. • How did you manage the outsourcing with sub-contractors? • Have you been responsible of selecting vendors and suppliers? (i.e. procurement) • Describe your work with key company’s department like- financial, R&D, procurement and logistics. • How was your interaction with customers? Have you been responsible for the project’s invoicing and financial issues? • Describe your definition for the project’s miles stones, project SOW (scope of work) and project action items/tasks? • How often have you informed about the project’s status to your executives and the company’s key management members? - The transparency of the project. • Describe the structure of the project’s business plan – costs (direct and indirect), incomes, gross profit and net profit. How did you monitor the budget? • Have you ever had to take tough decisions? How did you share your thoughts and responsibilities with others? Good resource information in this website.
