A project manager acknowledges how crucial the project team is to the project’s progress. This claim applies to both small and big organisations. There are different structures tailored for different scenarios. Let’s take a look at three (3) ways of building an excellent project team.
Using project management software to lead the project team properly
In implementing a project, it is important to delegate tasks and activities to each of the project team members. A project management software makes it easy to assign activities, monitor, give feedbacks, evaluate progress and manage resources in an automated way. These reduce much of the physical follow-ups and reporting and improves the project’s timeline delivery amongst other benefits.
Some Project Management Software are:
The team spirits
If many candidates with identical skills are available, the project manager must pick those with skills that complement each other in terms of technical and soft skills. However, choosing the required participants is not the final challenge. The importance of team spirit should be stressed before and during the project.
The responsibility structures
The task should be shared among team members fairly. Too much joint accountability will demotivate team members who perform crucial tasks, which can be counterproductive to teamwork. Consequently, specifically delineating the areas of responsibility of each team member is highly recommended. When the responsibility systems are in place, project managers may be able to identify and acknowledge successful results straight away. Such a manager will know who is actively working and who is not.
Inconclusion, if these steps are put to judicious use, results and accomplishments would be noticeable and those who make up the team will be happy carrying out the duties assigned to them. The project team charged with implementing or executing a task has a huge effect on the project’s progress. And the most well-planned projects will fall short of their targets if the project team does not work to its maximum capacity. Act wisely!
