Project success depends more and more on the effective communications of people collaborating on them. Long time ago, the sponsor directed project manager on what to do. PM produced documents, commanded and controlled team members’ daily tasks, and reported timely to sponsor in the periodic project review. Today’s projects are not managed that way anymore.
In this hyper connected society we live on, with the project economy on the rise, many stakeholders need to be engaged beyond review meetings. Team members, many of them working in virtual teams, are expected to comment proactively on problems, alternatives, workarounds, conflicts, needs, etc. Project managers are not good professionals if they just follow orders. They need to be proactive to manage risks, model requirements, be on time, on cost, maximize value, etc. Project managers are not alone in management. We need project management teams, instead. Communication technology enhances distribute collaboration and continuous feedback on people, projects, programs and portfolios.
PMPeople enhances feedback on team members and projects performance.
