The term 'priority' originally referred to the most important task that needed to be addressed before anything else. However, in today's business landscape, it has evolved to multiple 'priorities.' This often leads to competing demands. As a project leader, I focus on tasks that offer high value with low effort for quick wins. For tasks that require high value and high effort, we may need to reprioritize to meet project milestones. It is essential to communicate the organization's vision to team members to ensure alignment with the overarching goals.

When team members have conflicting priorities, ensuring project progress requires effective leadership and strategic planning. Start by clearly communicating the project's overall goals and how individual tasks contribute to these objectives. Facilitate open discussions to understand each team member's priorities and constraints. Use prioritization techniques, such as the MoSCoW method (Must have, Should have, Could have, Won't have), to align tasks with project goals. Establish a clear and flexible project plan that accommodates critical tasks while addressing team members' concerns. Regular check-ins and progress reviews help maintain focus and adaptability. #TeamAlignment #ProjectManagement

Assigning tasks based on team members' strengths and current workloads is of crucial importance, as it ensures a balanced distribution of responsibilities. Another commonly understated benefit of delegation is that while working on a best-fit task or area, a team member may come up with a completely out-of-the-box solution to an ongoing problem, which other project members are not able to see as they are too engrossed in the project. Hence, having fresh minds to distribute responsibilities to can be of great use.

Often times, the teams involved in a project end up working in silos. In such situations, the Project Manager becomes the only interconnected link in between the teams, which results in low coordination, quality drops and general delays. So, creating an environment where team members feel comfortable discussing their concerns and conflicts is one of the first things that should be done, and it should be reiterated and actioned on frequently to increase the Teams' confidence and trust. Plus, this allows for a more collaborative problem-solving.

It's common for project managers to spend about 90 percent of their time dealing with communication-related issues. As project leaders, we must foster and encourage open communication. Team members often work in silos and may not ask for help when facing issues. Remind your team that we are here to support them. Pay special attention to those who rarely speak up, as building trust takes time. By promoting open communication, we can ensure the project's progress and make informed decisions.

If the project goals, priorities and responsibilities are clearly outlined and communicated, it should automatically decrease conflicts. However, the project manager may need to step in time and again to iron out conflicts, and having an open communication with the parties involved and discussing their roadblocks, and the impact of these roadblocks will help the conflicting parties understand each other's issues. Resolution will come naturally when all parties adjust a little, and turn a win-lose into a win-win.

Let’s be honest, from my experience most project teams aren’t formed by looking at your personnel roster and asking who would make the best team for this project! Instead they say, who do we have that’s readily available and who can we steal from another team that is not crucial to their success! When project teams are formed that way you have put them at an extreme disadvantage. It’s like asking the Bad News Bears to beat the NY Yankees. The project’s scope should determine the assets you assign to that project and not who is sitting on the bench! Until we rethink how project teams are formed we will continue to have projects falter and fail.
