Manage Team

Ongoing oversight of how team members perform, giving constructive feedback, resolving conflicts and issues, and adjusting roles or staffing so the project delivers at its best.

Key Points

  • Monitor individual and team performance against the plan and expectations.
  • Provide timely feedback, coaching, recognition, and corrective actions as needed.
  • Resolve conflicts and remove impediments using appropriate techniques.
  • Manage team changes (reassignments, onboarding/offboarding) and update project documents accordingly.

Example

A project manager sees test coverage slipping. She holds one-on-ones to identify skill gaps, pairs a senior tester with a junior member for coaching, mediates a disagreement between dev and QA on defect priorities, and temporarily brings in a contractor. Performance improves and the schedule stabilizes.
