An internal virtual team is meeting daily to review iteration progress, as well as to conduct other technical and follow-up calls with key stakeholders. The team seems to be disengaged.
How should the project manager approach this situation?
A.
Reduce the number of internal and external meetings.
B.
Schedule one-to-one meetings and team-building meetings.
C.
Review team assignments and reduce the workload.
D.
Give the team members a few days off to reduce stress_
If the team is disengaged, the project manager should take steps to address the issue and improve team motivation. One way to do this is by scheduling one-to-one meetings with each team member to discuss their concerns, challenges, and goals. Additionally, scheduling team-building meetings can help improve collaboration, communication, and overall team morale. This can include virtual team-building activities or social events that allow team members to get to know each other better and build relationships outside of work.
No, in scrum, there is no hierarchy so daily review meeting should not be reported to scrum master. Therefore 'one-to-one meeting' is not correct --> B is out
scrum master should remove disruption caused to the team so we should reduce the internal & external call. Any queries should be direct to scrum master. Therefore A is better
Logic says it's likely A. However, PMI best practice is likely B. By scheduling one-to-one meetings and team-building sessions, the project manager can create opportunities for open communication, address individual concerns, foster team cohesion, and re-engage team members in the project's goals and objectives. This approach allows for personalized interaction and can help identify underlying issues contributing to the team's disengagement.
The most appropriate approach to address disengagement in a virtual team is to schedule one-to-one meetings and team-building meetings (Option B). This helps in fostering better communication, understanding individual concerns, and building a sense of unity among team members.
Disengaged team - help them to focus on their work by reducing the meetings. Question reads other technical and follow-up calls reducing which would help!!
Actually, after reading the question more carefully, I would agree to reduce the number of meetings so the Agile team can do the work. The PM job as a Servant leader is to protect the team from distraction.
B. Schedule one-to-one meetings and team-building meetings.
One-to-one meetings provide an opportunity for team members to discuss their concerns, challenges, or feedback in a more personal setting. Team-building meetings can help in fostering collaboration, trust, and rapport among team members, especially in a virtual environment where face-to-face interactions are limited. Both of these approaches can help in understanding the reasons for disengagement and in finding solutions to increase engagement and productivity.
