One of the interesting things that Dr. Simon mentioned in this weeks lecture was the concept of team development. When you are a project manager, your project team is not composed of robotic entities. They are human beings who can develop chemistry, think critically, and work in collaboration. Team development is combining team and individual skill sets to enhance the project, but sometimes the team can run into some real world issues. So what happens in these scenarios?

That’s my question you guys. As a PM, how would you deal with team members taking absences or vacations? What would you do in order to deal with shifting personnel resources? What would be the course of action if certain team members have obligations to other teams?
