Team

Functioning teams - an absolute prerequisite for successful e-projects
e-projects are characterized by a short runtime under high time pressure, changing project teams, and short-term involvement of external experts. For this reason, issues such as team building, phasing in/out of team members, communication, and working environment are particularly important.
 
Team building as an essential step on the way to a functioning team
In comparison with traditional projects, e-projects are running in "fast-forward" mode. Therefore, e-projects often provide only a few days for the social processes to work that take weeks in traditional projects. For this reason, the team building process at the start of the project takes on a particular significance. Wherever possible, you should retain well-working core teams from previous projects. During the course of the project, particular attention needs to be paid to the phasing in/out of team members. During the entire runtime of the project, it is important to offer the team an optimum working environment, if possible at the same location.

 
Start the project properly with a kickoff meeting


Project Experience Support Center
(German)

At the beginning of the e-project, you should hold a kickoff meeting to clarify the goals and the organization of the project. The goals include the requested functionality, the given time and cost frames, the chosen claim management strategy, as well as other specifications for project execution. The project organization governs the way the project team collaborates.

The following issues should always be made clear: how do information and escalation paths work, how are changes communicated, which roles (project manager, architect,...) exist in the project and which responsibilities are connected with these roles, how are decisions made.
