Balancing a Project Teams Workload |
|
|
It’s always important to balance a project team’s workload,
and especially so during times when resources take vacations and miss work. There’s a fine balance to be had
between mixing a team to do lists and ensuring that the workload is equal and
fair for everyone. Managing the project workload is one of the most
critical parts of a manager’s job, in particular to get that balance right. Project
teams look for clarity to what they should be doing and when.
Workload management
is the process of assigning tasks to keep the team working while monitoring their
progress over the course of
the project. It provides a framework of what tasks need to be done and who on
the team is supposed to be working on those tasks.

| Project Management and Business Soft Skills |
|
| It’s been
mentioned on many occasions, project management fundamentally is to deliver, to
deliver successfully people skills are required. Getting the best out of
resources ensures a better project experience and every chance of success. The
ability to get the best out of people and resources is possessing business soft
skills, but what are they?
Soft skills,
otherwise known as interpersonal or people skills are essentially communication
abilities that contribute towards successful office interactions and working
relationships. They incorporate a wide range of things including personal
attributes, personality traits, and social cues; soft skills are similar to
emotions or insights that allow the project manager to ‘read’ colleagues. |
