**Supervision** is what a person does when they monitor or track the work of other people. **Management** is what a person does when they are deciding the priorities for how resources should be allocated, what processes to use, or what to prioritize. In other words, supervision is making sure the work is being done the correct way. Management is making sure the correct work is receiving the correct amount of resources.

A Foreman is a temporary manager appointed for a project who (temporarily) outranks everyone else working on the project regardless of job title or the normal chain of command. A Foreman should be appointed if there is a subject matter expert present who's otherwise not high enough on the totem pole to manage the people doing the work.
