How
do you forge the relationships needed to drive a project to successful
completion when you never get to meet your teammates face-to-face? It is more
challenging than when you work side by side but it is certainly possible. Here
are some project post mortem best practice tips that will help:
- Hold even more frequent meetings than you would if you were in the same building. Keep them brief and follow all the best practices for effective meetings—restate team goals, publish agenda items, establish and maintain behavioral ground rules, begin and end on time, set up action steps with a timeline and clearly assigned responsibility.
- Let technology be your communication aid. Share your documents and reports online and use web cams as a substitute for face-to-face sessions
- Focus on making it personal. Give each team member a chance to introduce themselves. Set up a format for them to share both personal and professional backgrounds.
Do what you can to foster team spirit and collaboration across the miles. Project results depend upon the quality of team relationships.
