PM Fair: Projects as Homework
As businesses have become leaner, medium important, medium complex projects are increasingly staffed by in-house resources working on them as ‘homework’. In “The People Project Triangle”, we term these ‘composite’ projects. The current crisis is only going to increase their number.
Analogous to the classic ‘Project Triangle’ (a trade-off between cost, time and scope), we maintain there is a ‘People Project Triangle’, with a trade-off between the project, the ongoing business, and the people working in both.
When pressure mounts, generally, only two of those can be prioritised and one must give. We observe that it is often the people that bear the brunt, with subsequent implications of stress and burnout. We help you identify these projects and provide suggestions on how to manage them more effectively.
