Episode 036: Team Building: Part II - Tips for Team Members

This week The PMO Podcast™ Featured Story presents, "Team Building: Part II - Tips for Team Members”, presented by Mark Perry (about Mark), host of The PMO Podcast™. As a PMO Manager, if you had the opportunity to start a new team and select anyone from your company to be on it, who would you pick? Assuming everyone has the right technical skills for the work to be done, what other characteristics would you like to see the team members have? It is no surprise that teams need strong team players to achieve their objectives and perform well as a team. But what are these team member characteristics? Well, today we have ten good traits, or tips, that would well serve any member of just about any team. The PMO Podcast™ Points Memo suggests, "Be more concerned about the steps." Don’t just think about your ultimate goal and how to get right to it. If you were painting a house or cleaning gutters, you would no doubt find good use of a ladder. And, once on the ladder, you would proceed up the ladder going step by step until you reached your destination. And, if you are like most people, you are not in too much of a hurry as you go up the ladder and you aren’t that interested in skipping any steps on your way up. The same can be said for managing a project. Stay focused on the steps involved. The PMO Podcast™ Mailbag responds to a listener question about guidelines for how many projects it takes to justify a PPM tool.
