3 Ways To Improve Teamwork Centralize Work to a Common Task Management SystemThe first is basic and it is about centralizing work and the tasks associated with that work in a task management system open to all. Nothing drags down the ability to collaborate than having information spread out across many different tools and platforms. I found though that centralizing all of the work to be pursued by the group in a common location establishes a sort of home base. The team can go to this location as a source of truth for everything that team is doing together. So if you currently don’t have a centralized task management project management tool I highly recommend that this is the first order of business. There are tools out there such as Jira, Trello, Asana that could be helpful. It really depends on what aligns best with the needs of your team. However, a basic need across all teams is having a central go-to place for project information. Connect on a Regular CadenceThe second thing that I’ve noticed about high-functioning teams is the significant impact of meeting on a regular cadence. These meetings do not need to be long and extensive. Just having a touchpoint of 15 minutes to review agreed-upon work is helpful in identifying progress and potential issues that need to be addressed. Regular touchpoints. establishing a consistent cadence brings a rhythm to the inner workings of the team that help to establish efficiency. If you are familiar with agile scrum the cultivation of a cadence is a central tenant of the meeting ceremonies that the methodology deploys. Collaboratively Create GoalsThe final suggestion is to use the centralization of work into a common task management system and the regular meeting cadence to drive the co-creation of team goals. During discussions as ideas emerge on how to create value for whoever you consider to be your stakeholders you have the machinery in place to capture these ideas as work that your team can focus on in the future. When your team contributes ideas to the direction of the group there is increased investment in positive outcomes. When people know where to find information and you have regular discussions it’s easier for people to contribute ideas and thoughts to the discussion. This will lead to a sense of shared purpose, destiny, and ownership.
