PM Applications :: Lesson 10 :: Project Team Glue

Yes, glue.  How do you find the people you need and secondly, how do you keep them together.

This lesson was quite a bit more touchy-feely than the prior on Statistics.

It centered upon selecting the proper Project Manager and the best Project Team Members.  It’s common sense that, I guess, isn’t so common.

Select a PM early in the process before the project is underway.  They need to be personable and well-versed in reporting and stress-management but also have vision and foresight.

Recruit/Review Team Members that have the proper competencies based on the PM’s job description and specifications.

Find out each team member’s WIIFM quotient (what’s in it for me).  Review their background, talk to prior team members…be honest and open with each of them and in the long run you’ll have a more productive team.

There IS more, but instead, I’ll let you read up on it yourself:

Take Care!

No really….take…care…in the decisions you make as a PM.
