Course Description

428-Creating Effective Teamwork In Project Management

Almost all companies espouse the desire to have efficient project teams, but often the teams are not effective. There are many reasons for these failures, including management culture, ineffective leadership, contracts that diminish teamwork, and even not recognizing who the project team really is.

Several real-life examples are described to illustrate the positive and negative teaming situations. Some of the major mistakes are created by asking the wrong questions, failing to listen carefully to others, and cutting off communications when discussions are most needed. These examples are based upon experiences building and maintaining large petrochem, power and pulp & paper facilities. But the principles apply equally well to software development, facility operations, construction companies, in-house development projects, or any project that requires people to work together to develop an end product.

This course provides the most important individual principles for teaming effectively, which most people want to do, and then describes the management requirements to create an environment conducive to teaming. The remainder of the course assumes the company, project management and the project personnel want an effective team, then describes the concrete actions individuals, and management must do to allow the teaming to occur.

This course is intended for individuals to recognize their responsibilities to work as a team, and managers to see how they can be Effective Team Creators, and not Team Destroyers.
