How to simplify project management

Question

I have identified a number of changes to make to the framework my business area use to manage projects and programs. We are moving towards a more Agile way of thinking and trying to launch some hybrid projects

Any tips to help bring these colleagues round to a more efficient, fresh way of thinking?

Answer 1

It really depends on whether there is a defined project methodology in place and whether it is embraced and enforced by management. It also depends on what role do these employees play on the project,

In general, there is a minimum set of project documents that need to be managed for each project, number, content, and complexity of which increase with project scale and complexity itself.

Remember that you have to let the team organize itself. Your job is to coach the team to think differently so they can figure it out. It is not your job to tell them what to do or how to do it. If you try to do so, you can expect resistance.

Remember that what is more efficient for you may not be to another person or team.
