Article: (PMW) Meeting Deadlines, Changing Resources, Changing Priorities — What do Great Managers and Teams Do? by Neil Potter and Mary Sakry, The Process Group. http://processgroup.com/Introduction Can you relate to either of these project schedule issues? a. A manager’s view: Deadlines and estimates are unreliable, and this impacts customer satisfaction and revenue. “We give our teams priorities every week; why don’t they deliver?” b. A team member’s view: We tell management how much time will be needed, but we are told this is too much, so we hunker down and do our best knowing that all of the issues will come to a head eventually. Then priorities change anyway, so estimates are not really important. © The Process Group |
