### Project Management

Staff in the planning and project management category perform the following and similar duties: manage production schedules, establish editorial partner meetings and agendas, review and coordinate vendor deliverables [both to the journal site and to PubMed Central (PMC)], schedule staff time for maintenance and new development work, and report on all progress through to CDRS administration.

There have been a number of CDRS personnel devoted to planning and project management. Near the project’s outset, the director and the production manager were heavily involved in establishing the project’s priorities and deliverables. As the project matured, these duties were handled in turn by the senior project manager and then subsequently her deputy, the project coordinator. Other associated library staff who have participated in a consultative role in project planning meetings were considered for this category, and we therefore add also the Director of the Copyright Advisory Office, who provided essential insights related to author agreements and content licensing. The head of usability (now a vacant position) also played an early key role in site assessment and information architecture development, here grouped among Project Management duties.
