Develop Team

A process that builds skills, strengthens collaboration, and creates a positive team climate to improve overall project performance.

Key Points

Example

The project manager sees handoff errors between engineering and testing. She runs a joint workshop, pairs senior and junior staff for coaching, agrees on team ground rules, and launches a monthly recognition program. Within one month, defects per build drop by 30% and the team reports higher morale.
