Clinical Trial Project Management is one of the most important functions within a Clinical Operations team. It is equally important for both Pharma-biotech companies conducting their own clinical trials as well as Contract Research Organizations that conduct clinical trials for sponsor companies. Good Project Management results in savings of costs and resources and leads to a high quality end product. Good Project Management results in a clinical trial being conducted smoothly and efficiently without any major problems along the way. It is said that Good Project Management is only as good as the Project Manager. So, it is important to have an experienced Project Manager running the project who knows all the tricks of the trade. By that we mean that the Project Manager should be well qualified, should have experience in managing studies across various therapeutic areas, should have good people management skills and should know how to solve problems in accordance with the applicable guidelines and regulations. A good project manager should also be knowledgeable about quality management, risk management, resource management etc. Although not mandatory, but it is highly recommended that you as a project manager get certified from a professional body. A Clinical Project Management Certification not only makes you more attractive to potential employers by building their confidence in you, but it also helps you grow in your career as a Project Manager, and actually helps you do your tasks better in a more efficient manner. If you are working for a contract research organization, getting certified as a Clinical Project Manager will mean that your company can now showcase you as a project manager even more confidently to potential clients for future business. Only a handful of Clinical Research Bodies such as the ‘Clinical Research Society’ provide a Clinical Project Management Certification.
