Putting Together the Right Team Building a Team Finding the right people is a difficult task, but an even more challenging task is matching team members both to the task and to each other. There really isn’t any golden rule for doing this.

Putting Together the Right Team Building a Team To make a good choice, it is important to think about several things:  Is there a critical deadline for the task? If so, choose the person with better tack record for meeting deadlines.  What risks do I take if I put this person on this task? If you know that one person is more prone to mistakes, then you can assign him or her tasks with lower risks.

Putting Together the Right Team Building a Team  How does this person interact with rest of the team? If either person has a history of not getting along with one of your team members, then you can decide whether to take the risk of having to manage interpersonal problems as well as project- oriented issues.

Managing The Team Multiple Projects One of the more challenging aspects of web project management is managing human resources—from different departments or different teams, on one project or over several projects.

Managing The Team  Leverage the central web team’s skills - You are faced with parallel web development efforts and limited resources, including your own time and expertise. - Extend core team’s expertise across the multiple projects. - Being able to leverage your core team, the people who can manage different aspects of the web effort, such as design, content development and coding, will simplify the effort needed to manage multiple projects.

Managing The Team  Develop a Fast Production Method - It is important to develop processes that each team members follows. It increases efficiency of people and save time. - It is a “mass production” mentality;but, as we know, that’s where you make money and ensure consistency. -You need to know what’s happening at every step so that you can pull resources between projects at noncritical times.
