One way to think about solving this problem is to brainstorm any potential risks that may arise while doing the actual project. I think that getting input from people who’ve had experience in doing the tasks similar to the ones that must be done for this project is essential. Input should be taken from not only the team members, but the project sponsor, and different departments as well. It can’t hurt to have more input because even though some of it may not valid or useful, it can always be discarded during planning. I think that all shareholders should have a meeting and brainstorm any potential sources of risks and failures that may occur and try to develop something to counteract each one. Another way to solve this problem is to have the individuals who will finish their tasks early to help other members with their parts so that it can expedite the entire process instead of having people split up and be responsible for their on tasks. After all, this is a team effort and even though one task may be finished early, all of the tasks must be completed if the project is to yield the expected results. It’s in the interest of all individuals to contribute beyond what they are expected if they can.
