New Blog Post by Pinnacle Strategies Shares How to Get Productive Teamwork from Distributed Teams
Plano, TX (PRWEB) September 26, 2013 -- Mark Woeppel, president and CEO of Pinnacle Strategies, wrote a new blog post discussing how to get productive teamwork from distributed teams. Woeppel acknowledged, “Managing any project team can be challenging…[but] managing a distributed team is a challenge cubed.”
In any project, coordinating the workflow among your resources is almost always difficult. When multiple teams are involved, that challenge is multiplied; if those teams are distributed across various campuses, countries or even continents, the effect on complexity is exponential, escalating the challenge in three dimensions:
-Poor communications
-Distance adds delays
-Too many variables
For distributed team management, the ugly truth is that traditional tools (such as spreadsheets and ad hoc meetings) fail to master the project execution complexities imposed by multiple tasks, resource groups, and locations. The combination of data profusion and location confusion makes it difficult for managers to balance load and capacity.
A truly effective solution must give you the power to control the four most urgent challenges faced by managers of distributed teams:
-Synchronization of work and resources
-Managing deadlines
-Reconciliation of resource capacity with workload
-Managing risk
