  38.                 <p>Good project managers and editors share a lot of skills. Both need to be organized, detail-oriented
  39.                     and
  40.                     on-time.
  41.                     And both need to be able to step back from the small details to see the bigger picture. On many
  42.                     projects, the
  43.                     roles are one and the same, where an editor is asked to also manage the documentation project. In
  44.                     that
  45.                     case, the
  46.                     editor will set the schedule and ensure writers deliver on time. The following reading provides a
  47.                     good
  48.                     basis for
  49.                     when it makes sense to combine the roles and when it doesn't.</p>

  64.                 <p>Whether working as an editorial project manager or as an editor on a team that has a project manager,
  65.                     the
  66.                     ability to estimate scheduling is the number one skill you'll require. The path we took on your blog
  67.                     post in
  68.                     this course is a good template for the different phases of a small or medium writing project:</p>

  73.                     <li class="list-group-item">3. Send to Editor for notes &amp; revisions</li>
  74.                     <li class="list-group-item">4. 3rd Draft (completed by the writer)</li>
  75.                     <li class="list-group-item">5. Send to Editor for signoff</li>
  76.                     <li class="list-group-item">6. Final version (completed by the writer)</li>
  77.                     <li class="list-group-item">7. Send to Designer (depending on the project, this might be completed
  78.                         by
  79.                         the writer)</li>
  80.                     <li class="list-group-item">8. Publish</li>

  87.             <div class="card-body">
  88.                 <p>Once you've laid out all of the steps required, you'll need to assign an estimate of the time needed
  89.                     for each
  90.                     step. <strong>Work backwards. </strong>You almost always know the publishing date at the start of
  91.                     the
  92.                     project. If you don't, ask! You assign the final date to step eight. Then check in with the designer
  93.                     to see
  94.                     how long they will need for step seven. Steps five and six are short ones. Once you've gone through
  95.                     all of
  96.                     the steps working backwards from the publishing date, you'll probably find yourself three weeks
  97.                     behind
  98.                     schedule already. Then you go back to see where you can shave time from the different steps.
  99.                     Including the
  100.                     writer, designer and anyone else required in this initial scheduling exercise will greatly assist in
  101.                     getting
  102.                     them to later follow your timelines. Buy-in is key!</p>
