The Enterprise Printing Project had a bit of slow start with resource
commitment, role of sponsor, role of advisory group, understanding
the value of early-on "team stuff", value of good project management
practices, etc. I'm starting to see similar issues pop up in several
status reports.
Dani has recently done some work on team formation. IS continues
to work on "thick slicing" resources for project work. IS's Ilead
(focus group for leadership issues) has also discussed team
formation issues.
It appears there's lots of interest and attention to team formation,
role, expectation, project management practice, etc. issues lately.
It might be useful to try to put some sense to all of this in a
way that would be useful for discovery and other projects - what
are the issues/problems, what have we learned, what resources are
available to help, what should we be doing in the future to improve
our project productivity...
