Principles for managing PDT teams - Managing Global Local (case)

Problems:

  • Understanding company context - sharing personal details - opening skype interviews with a personal story from each person. 
  • Communication (different accents) - Skype - IM box 
  • Heavy on documentation (need flexibility) - less formal
  • Information sharing - each office was designing their own applications and were having problem with compatibility
  • Time allocation (difference between those 50% committed and 100% committed)
  • Running overtime
  • Over engineering

Recommendations:



What they actually did?

  • Because of the lack of feature governance; they needed to find a way to reinstate this, which was done by getting rid of requirement centres and establishing a single point of project ownership.
  • There was a shift towards large textual information repository
  • Got rid of group call with the aim of achieving more one-to-one communication going with individuals at different sites but on the same level.
