Project Teams? 2
The project team (contd)
A project team, like any other team, is a mix of individual personalities,
knowledge bases, skills and experiences. To work together effectively
each team member, including you, has responsibilities to the other members.
For more information on teamworking work through the 'Teamworking' topic.
Teamworking Responsibilities
A team is a group of people who come together to achieve a common goal,
in this case the project deliverables.
Team members are equal partners and so every member must:
-
Contribute their fair share of effort
-
Take a fair share of the blame if things go wrong, and most of all
-
Take a fair share of credit for the team's successes
There may be restrictions on the roles others play due to factors
such as location, time available, skills. You may need to accept a role
or responsibilities which are not your choice but which you need
to do to make the team successful.
Take actions or deliver outputs at the agreed time. Do not keep other
team members waiting.
Keep other members informed of any changes in the delivery of your outputs
which could affect the plan or performance of the team.
Turn up for meetings on time and prepared.
Always try to make a maximum contribution to the team. It is all too easy
to sit back and let others do the work
