Team Dynamics, The People Side of Project Management
Ed Vallorani, Avanti Improvement Solutions, LLC.
Tuesday, January 19, 2016
There are many tools that are used to manage projects, and many time, we focus on executing the tools and forget about the people side of the equation. This is a recipe for disaster as the people side of any project is as important, if not more important, than the tools we use. If the people side is not managed properly, the project will fail.
Cultural Dimensions
This presentation will discuss the people side of a project by exploring team dynamics. We will discuss team members, team structure, common pitfalls and how to get your team to a high level of performance. This is an important part of the ASQ Body of Knowledge. As such it is included in the BOK for numerous ASQ certifications.
