Project Consultant Duties and Responsibilities
Since the role of project consultant is broad, it involves many duties and responsibilities, many of which vary depending on the industry of employment. We analyzed project consultant job descriptions to come up with this list of the most relevant core duties of project consultants:
Evaluate Project Parameters All project consultants, regardless of industry, evaluate the project parameters. This involves interviewing clients and actively listening to their answers. The better they perform this duty, the easier the following duties are to complete.
Analyze Project Strengths and Areas Needing Improvement Project consultants use their understanding of the client’s overall goals to analyze their current progress for strengths and areas needing improvement. The level of progress varies for each client. Sometimes their job involves making small tweaks to an existing plan, and other times, it involves creating a whole new plan from scratch. A variation of the SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, opportunities, and threats) is used by many project consultants.
Devise a Project Plan Based on Client Needs Once project consultants understand the client goals and the resources available, they create a project plan outlining how resources will be used to achieve the project parameters.
Delegate Project Tasks to Employees Project consultants who work in-house are directly responsible for delegating project tasks to each employee to get the project done as efficiently as possible. Project consultants who work on their own or for a consulting firm coach decision makers through this process.
Test and Tweak Project Solutions to Perfection Project consultants monitor the completion of each stage of the project, making tweaks to the plan based on feedback. They are also responsible for testing the effectiveness of the project solutions if applicable.
Present Plans and Results to Project Stakeholders Finally, project consultants spend a fair amount of time presenting both their plans and final results to project stakeholders. This requires good communication and negotiation skills.

- Creating specific project plans based on the principles of project management

Project Consultant Education and Training
