C) Performance, resource conflict and reporting
Part of your project team comprises of team members who work in other business departments and that have been assigned to the project on a part-time basis.Lately, departmental managers have increased the workload on those team members creating a severe resource conflict that is impacting on the productivity and morale of the project team. Reflect on how you could resolve this resource conflict:
1.The team members feel they should be loyal to the team they come from; however, they are also committed to the project
2.The additional workload is forcing the team members to work extra hours
3.The team members are tired, and the rest of the team feels their stress
4.The situation is impacting on the achievement of project objectives
Write an email to the project sponsor illustrating the situation and recommending two actions that will support the project team without impacting on the rest of the organisation. You cannot hire additional project staff.Additionally, inform the project sponsor of the outcome of the initial review meeting with the team member in Task 3.1A.
Use the template below to write the email. Note: you don’t need to send the email, just write the email using Template 2. (50-100 words)
BSBPMG515 Task 3 Manage Project Human Resources Assignment-Greenwich Management College Australia.
Task 3.2 Finalise human resource activities related to projects
The project has now been completed.
A) Lessons learned
You have spent some time reviewing the project HR progress reports and summarised the following points:
- The induction process was not effective. The project team was given a long paper-based manual with lots of text. The team members reported that they could only recall 30% of its content
- The project team turnover was low
- The project team took several months to come together. They were happy with two team building activities you organised; however, they wish they had an opportunity to do team building earlier
- The HR planning linked directly to the WBS; however, the project team structure did not fully optimise the project delivery
- Communication between team members could be improved using technology more effectively
- Lessons learned were continuously delivered; however, corrective actions were not promptly applied
- The actual performance was accurately measured and reported
- Team members were provided with prompt feedback
- Opportunities for professional and personal development were adequate
- Resource conflict with other business departments impacted the project for over four weeks; the project sponsor did not think that remedial actions were a priority
- The team had to share office space with another team, and this caused continuous distractions
Use the templates provided below and follow the instructions.
Complete the lessons learned report (Template 3) based on the project human resource review highlighting successes and providing inputs for improvements where needed.
1.8-10 problem/success with positive or negative impact.
2.Two recommendations for each identified problem.
B) Disband the project team
According to organisational policy and procedures, when disbanding the team, you should:
- Celebrate project accomplishment with the team
- Ask the project team for feedback
- Schedule a meeting with each team member to discuss their experience with the project and support them in their future endeavours.
