Reflection On Team Work Experience For ICT Project Management

Project Description

Project Description: Globex does an exhibition every year named as Riverina Agriculture and Lifestyle Show (RALS), in which many volunteers participate to make the show successful and the profit from it directly handed to charitable trust ICV. Being a charitable show, many NGOs provide support by providing their manpower as volunteers. Globex need to maintain the list of volunteers, their needs, their rosters and many more manually. This manual system has chances of error and can hamper the show, so Globex conceptualized to develop an automatic system for maintain the roster.  Virtucon being a long time consultant of Globex will not charge for its management services for the project and develop the system for Globex.

The members with various learning base of rationale and programming, emergency first aid treatment, data collection, stakeholder management and so on can add to the task. The members with great aptitude of transaction, powerful correspondence and mass management techniques can add to the task (Athanasaw, 2003). The members with various administration aptitudes like dictatorial yet participative, set example and self-driven characteristic can add value to the project.

The rotational basis job of the members can be as:

Noah Williams: shall coordinate for the data entry in the system

Student: note the stakeholder’s expectation list

James Wilson: shall do data collection activity and handover to Noah for his further action.

The members of team for the project must meet on daily basis at meeting room once in the morning to understand and discuss the plan for the day and always open door policy is available (Cren, 2016). The members can contact other members via e-mail, phone etc. the shared folder is kept in single PC and is shared with proper access to its users for the project.

Goal: the ultimate goal of the team members is to manage stakeholder’s need and fulfill their all agreed expectations or the real success of the project

Experience: team work can have positive and negative impacts both. The positivity in team work can be obtained by maintaining clarity in goal with clear positive objective and open minded (O’Grady, 2017). Whereas the team work can have negative impacts too if not handled properly like with the unavailability of clear objective and goal can lead to conflict and finally less productivity or even by having other issue like favoritism and many more can have ill effect of having team work.

Team value: the team must maintain a value of its member and respect each other to have positive atmosphere of working ad its can obviously give higher productivity. But there are few more values like the team must continuously search for development of the group, sufficiently energetic to conduct critical tasks; fearless and confident to take own decision but always it is recommended to take decision after discussing with the team members only, be straightforward and keep up sound workplace, think about group’s good and regard all colleague’s way of life (Bristol, 2012).

Skills and Knowledge

Code of Ethics: we the team members shall always maintain proper discipline in the office and it is our moral duty to keep the project out of social dirt like corruption and favoritism. All the decisions must be taken after conducting adequate study and any body’s influence shall not be entertained (PMI, 2017). We will abide by the policy of the company and act according towards achieving the goal.

Rules and Expectations: over and above the values and ethical concerns which the team shall follow there are few more table rules which need to be followed by the team members while on duty. The team members should always follow group’s choice, work entire heartedly, comprehend the way of life appropriately and stay away from clashes (Gupta, 2017). Team members should never miss from meeting without earlier notice and notify in case of any emergency and be more egoistic than work.

Team’s Learning Record (Marchewka, 2003)

To make a project successful the leadership skills are very much important, without the leadership skills in project manager can actually fail the project. The leadership skills do not only come from the technical knowledge which any project manager possesses. But the leadership skills are some soft skills generally present in the blood of the leaders like set example for other by doing remarkable job, always confident on the decision taken and shall also stand by the decision, possess a brilliant communication skill which keeps them ahead of others, person with very positive attitude and always ready to solve problems of own and others too, the person must not be aggressive always he or she must also have patience enough to listen to others and so on (Marsh, 2013). Even though not all but many of the above discussed characteristics are present in my experience while developing the report like all the problems been solved, team work is been motivated, dedicated most of the work to team, defined rules and roles of team members.

A manager can only manage the work and do the coordination activity, whereas a project manager of IT project need much more than that and require to set the path and vision for the team and always keep on motivating the team along with taking out the desired progress too an being the IT field which is purely people centric progress so the manager needs to be act as leader by having good communication skill, leadership skills, motivational skill, problem solving skill and many more as per above discussion (Schiff, 2017). So it can be concluded that the report development has provided clear idea about the IT project management experience and team handling.
