3.9 Recommendations for Management and Team Members

• Management Recommendations:

  • Manage, don t dictate ”if the project runs into problems, don t dictate a solution, let the team come back with solutions and choose the approach that meets the company s needs.

  • Take phase reviews seriously ”phase reviews are designed to give executive management a snapshot of the project s status. They are an excellent tool for confirming that processes are being followed and team deliverables are being completed on time. If executive staff doesn t take phase reviews seriously, no one else will.

• Team Recommendations:

  • Ask the IT developers who participated in the design review to return to partake in a development review. Mistakes get more expensive to fix the later they are found in the development process.

  • Don t blame, find solutions.
