Project managers hold an important role in encouraging group communication, overseeing any disputes, and setting a feasible timeline for each project. The manager needs to be able to clearly state his/her expectations for the project and team, while allowing members to contribute their thoughts/opinions on them. This can be accomplished by holding weekly meetings to address any concerns and share updates on the project. Disagreements aren’t always detrimental since not every idea is without fault, and pointing out the shortcomings and risks of a member’s proposal is important. However, the manager should encourage the team to handle these differences in opinions in a respectful manner and understand that compromises are a part of working in a team. Setting the timeline can be difficult since every member has their own schedule outside of the workplace, but the team manager can discuss it with the whole team ahead of time and agree on a reasonable one. The manager will also need to keep any pitfalls in mind, including holidays, prior commitments, and other projects the team may be working on.
