Managing People in Projects - An effective strategy
Description:
Project Management is much more than balancing the triple constraint. It deals with handling people and managing them towards the deliverables. People related challenges are at times more complex than technology or business challenges. Even with the same set of processes, some projects are able to exceed expectations and some fail. It is because, at the end of the day, those processes are executed by people.
This presentation provides an effective approach for PMs to manage people based on the three vectors - Skill/Talent, Opportunity & Passion/Interest. PM could follow a different approach for each team member depending on where they stand with respect to these three vectors. Characteristics of four possible scenarios and the action plan a PM could take for each of the scenarios will be presented. By applying appropriate management techniques this way, the PM can get the team energized and set it for success.
