The GIS Manager must be informed as to what the current GIS demands are, and if the present department, personnel, and software can meet them. A working knowledge of the agency’s database and software is required of the successful manager. As in most technical fields, a capable manager must know more than project oversight and staff supervision, and a technical background is a necessity. The manager must have the skills and abilities to ensure a project’s completion from beginning to end. Successful managers need to set goals and objectives, project completion dates, and establish methods of completion, on a number of ongoing projects. Project management can often be a daunting task, requiring individuals who are detail oriented and have foresight. The GIS Manager must also be prepared to coordinate GIS activities between different groups, agencies, departments, or individuals.  \nGIS Coordinator-The coordinator lies just below the manager on the hierarchy of GIS professionals. They provide technical support to other agencies, individuals, and governments. It is the responsibility of the coordinator to aid both GIS users and non-users in the development and application of geographical technology. The coordinator must have an extensive working knowledge of the department’s software and capabilities. The coordinator handles all the data sharing, report and map generation, as well as meeting planning, between departments. Other departments and levels of government are relying on GIS technology in increasing amounts, and it is the responsibility of the coordinator to provide the correct information and assistance.  \nGIS Specialist-In some cases, specialists are individuals with specific and intense training in one aspect of GIS technology. In other cases, the title may be applied to individuals who handle certain ongoing projects related to the department. Larger public and private agencies offer the position as a way to concentrate on specific and vital projects. The specialist, often in a team environment, provides customer and technical support under the direction of a GIS Manager. Where the position differs from that of the coordinator is that most of a specialist’s duties are internal. The specialist shares in project development rather than collaboration with other agencies or governments. Some specialists have a less formal GIS background and are hired due to their knowledge of a specific subject or function. For example, if the department is working on a transportation project, the specialist might have a concentrated background in planning or highway development, rather than GIS. The specialist helps send projects through the pipeline, coordinating the activities of the department with the goals and directives of an individual project.  \nGIS Software Programmer-The GIS Programmer is a heavily technical position that demands an extensive technical background and a constant need for reeducation. Almost every programmer designs, creates, updates, or manages GIS software applications. A programmer divides one’s time between the maintenance of the current software and design of new applications. The programmer may also be called upon to do GIS mapping, provide internet and web based support, develop spatial and non-spatial databases, as well as provide technical support to other GIS professionals. The programmer is expected to know a large number of programming languages and applications. On average, familiarity with AML, Microsoft NT, Avenue, SQL, VB (Visual Basic), C, C++, Java, and Oracle is required. The qualified and successful programmer will not only be familiar with these applications, but will be able to use them to run and improve the current GIS program.  \nGIS Data Analyst-The GIS Analyst’s responsibilities are often two-f","cbCaidI3A5TiV5O3","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaidI3A5TiV5O3","pdf",17326,"English","# GIS/IT Job Descriptions - URISA 2006\n## GIS Manager\n## GIS Coordinator\n## GIS Specialist\n## GIS Software Programmer\n## GIS Data Analyst\n## GIS Technician","[{\"question\":\"What are the core responsibilities of a GIS Manager in this document?\",\"answer\":\"The GIS Manager balances technical and administrative knowledge to ensure GIS technology is used properly and efficiently.
