If you have ever done be a part of a project team, do you experience any kind of scenarios below? If so, I am with you. However, I do not think these are all project manager’s fault.
- Focusing on asking for percent complete
- Holding "go around the room" type status meetings
- Spending host of your time babysitting team members by constantly checking on them
- Asking to cut lo percent off the estimate
- Not attempting to obtain finalized requirements
- Not getting real resource commitments
- Not having a reward system
- Not focusing on quality
- Not having a control system
- Not having management plans
- Not measuring against the project management plan, or even creating metrics
- Not spending time finding and eliminating root causes of problems or deviations
- Not implementing corrective action to keep the project in line with the project management plan
- Not reevaluating the effectiveness of the project management plan
- Not reevaluating the accuracy or completeness of schedule, cost, scope
Ignoring resource managers' need to have their people do their own departments' work - Not realizing the project can affect the reputation of team members
- Not realizing the project manager has some human resource responsibilities to the project team, such as project job descriptions and adding letters of recommendation to team members' human resource files
- Blaming unrealistic schedules on management instead of realizing they are the project manager's responsibility
