A Better Way to.....
Collaborate with more effective resourcing, happier staff and greater visibility
Getting people to work well together has always been a challenge. Add remote work, resource shortages, and knowledge gaps, and it's no wonder that projects struggle with people's challenges.
We've experienced it; therefore we get it, so to empathise but also help, here are the key Challenges we've faced, but also some of the Solutions that we believe as key in looking towards A Better Way
Challenges
Here are some of the Challenges that provide headwinds along with the "typical narrative" that you might be hearing from within your organisation.
01
Accountability to deliver
"As soon as something goes wrong, the fingers start pointing along with the cries of 'but that's not we decided'"
03
Project Team members are silo'd in their thinking
"Whether locked into their technical or business area, we struggle with having our team members truly understand the 'bigger picture'"
02
Internal Project Resourcing
"As a project/business we cannot easily share resources between departments and line managers"
Solutions
1 / Enforce Capacity Planning
Capacity planning sessions provide the forum for resources to forecast their availability to a work thus creating a personal commitment that can then be measured.
2 / Implement Shared resourcing
By adopting a shared resource model, resources are able to be triaged on a priority basis as determined by the organisation outside of the direct control of line management. This does require a wider thinking of operating model.
3 / Daily Standups
Daily Standups enforce communication on a daily basis and should be mandatory. Standups not only provide status reporting but also a chance for the team to understand the tasks and drivers of the whole team.
