This week, Director, Data Governance at American Express, and experienced PMP, Ordonna Sargeant, talks about what happens when you don&#8217;t have clearly defined team roles and why collaboration is the key to success in project management.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p><strong>You can read all the stories in our latest eBook, Confessions of a Project Manager.\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/get.resourceguruapp.com\/ebook-confessions-of-a-project-manager\/\">Download your free copy here<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Earlier in my career, I was a technical program manager and worked in a smaller company. This company didn\u2019t have experience with project managers and my project management experience didn\u2019t include coding skills.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\"><strong>The misalignment was this:<\/strong> my management team expected me to personally confirm both functional and non-functional requirements of a product build. I was managing the client expectations, the budget, and the multiple workstreams of a complex program. Meanwhile, my company was completely new to <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/agile-workflows-guide\">Agile development<\/a> and there was an unspoken expectation that I would also fill the product manager role and the program manager role.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The truth was I wasn&#8217;t equipped to be a product manager.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I decided to facilitate a workshop where we would discuss the roles in Agile development and identify who was currently filling these roles. The goal? I wanted to identify who had the skillset for these roles.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The day of the workshop arrived. Here are a few things that made it a success:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I made it as interactive as possible<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">We reviewed past projects together<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had the team identify who managed specific features<\/span><\/li>\n<li><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I had the team identify the definition of &#8220;done&#8221;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">I also asked questions like who was responsible for outlining the quality attributes of our products and ensuring they happened. Were these shared responsibilities, and what was the process? While they spoke, I gladly documented everything.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Next, I drafted a RACI (responsibility assignment matrix) and an onboarding document for my management team.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The company was unique in they wanted me to collaborate with the product manager on requirement gathering to ensure client expectations were met. (I feared they wanted me to solely own that responsibility.)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The dev team appreciated the workshop because they felt seen and valued. Because before, their work had gone unnoticed and the unappreciation started to show up in their code. But now, the whole team had the opportunity to grow\u2014together.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Both process changes and cultural changes came from that meeting. The tailoring of the company allowed everyone the chance to learn something new and strengthen their skillset, something the project, clients, and ultimately the entire company would all benefit from in the end.<\/span><\/p>\n<div id=\"ez-toc-container\" class=\"ez-toc-v2_0_82_2 counter-hierarchy ez-toc-counter ez-toc-custom ez-toc-container-direction\">\n<div class=\"ez-toc-title-container\">\n<p class=\"ez-toc-title\" style=\"cursor:inherit\">In this article \ud83d\udcd6<\/p>\n<span class=\"ez-toc-title-toggle\"><\/span><\/div>\n<nav><ul class='ez-toc-list ez-toc-list-level-1 ' ><li class='ez-toc-page-1 ez-toc-heading-level-2'><a class=\"ez-toc-link ez-toc-heading-1\" href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/project-management\/whats-my-role\/#Lesson-learned-Collaboration-is-key\" >Lesson learned: Collaboration is key<\/a><\/li><\/ul><\/nav><\/div>\n<h2><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Lesson-learned-Collaboration-is-key\"><\/span><b>Lesson learned: Collaboration is key<\/b><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you see a gap or misalignment don\u2019t assume there\u2019s only one solution. <a href=\"https:\/\/resourceguruapp.com\/blog\/project-collaboration\">Collaboration is key in project management<\/a>.
