Today we continue our series on Schedule Killers – those tendencies and traits of project teams that cause us to miss our deadlines!  In Episode 045, we discussed “The Student Syndrome,” which is defined as “the phenomenon that many people will start to fully apply themselves to a task just at the last possible moment before a deadline.”   In Episode 046, we discussed “Parkinson’s Law,” which is defined as “the demand upon a resource tends to expand to match the supply of the resource.”  Today we talk about “Bad Multitasking.” What is Bad Multitasking? Bad Multitasking is also often expressed as “when resources constantly switch focus between critical path tasks on multiple projects AND someone is waiting for the output of their task before they can do their work.” Unfortunately our brains are not wired to do [...]]]></description>

Parkinson’s Law, as it is known today, started as the first sentence of an essay that Cyril Northcote Parkinson wrote for The Economist in 1955.  Parkinson was a British naval historian, public administration scholar, and author of over sixty books.  Parkinson’s claim that “work expands so as to fill the time available for its completion” later was expanded to include how work expands in bureaucracies in his bestselling 1957 book, [...]]]></description>

Mail Today&#8217;s guest blogger, Brian Buck, is an Organizational Improvement Consultant and Project Manager in the healthcare industry.  He is studying for the PMP and hopes his three year experience requirement kicks in before the new PMBOK comes out (or else he will have to study some more)!  He specializes in Lean improvements and loves to integrate the concepts into Project Management.  He blogs at http://www.improvewithme.com/. Have you ever had a project team member miss a deadline or give a below quality deliverable?  Could the timing or quality have been saved if the team member had asked for help before the deadline? Toyota and their Lean methodology have pioneered Andon systems to call out trouble before a production line is forced to be stopped.  The same concept can help prevent a project from stalling. Simplified, if a line worker spots a quality problem (their own or passed on to them) and they know they will run over their allotted time, they pull an Andon cord.  This [...]]]></description>

Share this on Facebook Share this on LinkedIn Post on Google Buzz Email this via Gmail Add this to Google Reader Email this via Yahoo! Mail Creating a comprehensive schedule is one of the more difficult activities that Project Managers face.  Schedule creation is often considered more art than science &#8211; and results often support this.  What is often more frustrating is that team members often find themselves on one team with a project manager that creates and manages schedules a particular way and on another team with a project manager with a different approach.  I often hear from people on teams, &#8220;why can&#8217;t all project managers do things the same way?&#8221; If you have heard this on your team, perhaps it is time that you take a look at the way you and your team create your team schedules.  Perhaps you are not taking a consistent step in developing team schedules that have been shown to work time and time again. There are tons and tons of resources out there that claim the perfect answer to your scheduling problems.  But, I believe that you can improve your chances for success just by [...]]]></description>
