The sum of all the parts - A lesson from the World Cup

Image
After all the hype from the World Cup in South Africa, one very driving lesson that can be applicable for any Project Manager is that the sum of the team is worth more then any single star player. France, previous world champions, had a team full of great stars like Thierry Henry, Franck Ribery, Patrice Evra and Nicolas Anelka. Italy had Fabio Cannavaro, Simone Pepe and  Daniele De Rossi. England has Frank Lampard, Wayne Rooney, Steven Gerrard, Ledley King and Peter Crouch. Portugal had Cristiano Ronaldo, Simao, Tiago and Deco. Big names in their own right but when put together somehow could not deliver the goods. Similarly when forming a project team, you may have the brightest resources available, but if the team does not gel together and work effectively, then the outcome of the project will surely be in jeopardy. A good project manager is able to bring all these resources together and unite them in a common goal. It is not an easy task to gather and moti...

For IT project managers, it's a case study on the unintended consequences of d...

Maneuvering the project traffic jams - part 2

Image
My post yesterday discussed the learnings that we could obtain from our drive to work. Here are a few more observations that are along the same topic. Each project is like a journey. When you start your journey, you will have a few decision points in your journey which will determine how fast you will be able to reach your destination. Similarly there are several decision points when the project starts. Existing Resources Some of the decision points have been made earlier for example the car you are driving and the location of your residence so you will need to work within these as your starting point. In a project persepective, your resources may also already be pre-determined by decisions made earlier depending on the type of project eg. the number of team members and their skill sets, hardware, software etc. Timing to start The first decision point will be the time to start your journey. This will be made based on the information that you have and your previous...
