A software project is being implemented by a small, colocated team. What should the project manager do to keep the team focused and engaged with the high level of requirements?
A.
Arrange afternoon touchpoints where the team can discuss what they have done during the day.
B.
Request that the project sponsor is present during daily standups to increase commitment from the team.
C.
Send out daily activity tasks to each member of the team, mitigating the risk of tasks being forgotten.
D.
Make use of a kanban board so that the team will have a clear view of the work in progress (WIP) for the release.
Visual Management: A kanban board provides a visual representation of the work in progress, making it easier for the team to see what needs to be done, what is currently being worked on, and what has been completed.
Focus and Engagement: By having a clear view of the tasks, team members can stay focused on their current work and understand how their contributions fit into the overall project.
WIP Limits: Kanban boards often include WIP limits, which help prevent team members from taking on too many tasks at once, thereby maintaining a sustainable pace and reducing burnout.
Collaboration and Communication: The board facilitates better communication and collaboration among team members, as everyone can see the status of tasks and identify any bottlenecks or issues that need to be addressed.
A. Arrange afternoon touchpoints where the team can discuss what they have done during the day: While touchpoints can be useful, they may not be necessary if the team is already having daily standups. Additionally, they may interrupt the team's workflow and reduce productivity.
B. Request that the project sponsor is present during daily standups to increase commitment from the team: The presence of a project sponsor in daily standups can be intimidating and may not necessarily increase commitment. It could also disrupt the team's dynamics and open communication.
C. Send out daily activity tasks to each member of the team, mitigating the risk of tasks being forgotten: Micromanaging by sending out daily tasks can reduce team autonomy and morale. It is more effective to empower the team to manage their own tasks using a visual tool like a kanban board.
