Who does what, and when?

Pr Proje

ject Managemen

ct Management t is concerned with the allocation of resources to complete a project. _Project management determines who does what, and when. _Usually, this is the responsibility of the project manager, who _has considerable authority. _We have no such person! Still, we need to decide who does what, and when. _Our solution: the team decides (and documents!)

The Basics

_Never call a meeting without an agenda. _One early agenda item should be the status of tasks in progress. _Never end a meeting without action items. _You want your tasks to be formally recognized as action items. _The team needs to make consensus decisions about all tasks. (The need to vote to settle issues in such a small group is an early sign

f dysfunction.

Software

Software: _We strongly suggest a spreadsheet program (e.g., Excel) _Each row is a task; each task is a row; the file grows and grows _Each column is a date a decision was made _Each cell is a decision:

1) The task is assigned to someone and given a due date. 2) The task is declared complete. 3) The due date or responsible person is changed. 4) The task is declared incomplete and late.

What to do

Sugge uggested Pr d Proce cedur dure: e: _Pick a responsible person (scribe)—this job can rotate. _Pick at least one meeting each week for project management: define tasks, assign new end dates, or declare complete, as needed. _The scribe enters the group decisions and prints a copy. _The team reads ads and signs the printed copy agreeing or perhaps contesting a point. _No cell is ever deleted from the spreadsheet. The complete file should be kept in dropbox.
