How to delegate project management
To delegate project management, give your coordinator ownership of the project board and a weekly rhythm. They break projects into tasks with owners and dates, run status check-ins, chase blockers, keep stakeholders updated, and flag risks early. You set priorities and make decisions; they keep everything moving.
