Summary


People, process, and tools are important to the success of projects in almost every industry. In the technological industries we work in, they are perhaps even more critical. Yet, intentionally or not, we tend to ignore these issues and assume that they will take care of themselves . We hope that any problems will go away and we take no action to resolve them. The time you spend attending to people issues is time well spent. Of course, you also need to provide just enough process to help your team members rather than hinder them, and equip them with the right tools for the job.

Many people have written about people issues and team development. In this chapter we have provided some of our favorite guidelines. They are not exhaustive, but they can't be. People, process, and tools change continually and, to be good managers and team members, we have to change as well.
