I am presently managing a large and complex transformation project. The lifespan, that was initially envisioned to be 2-3 years, has now been shortened to be 1 year. Needless to say, I will need to reconfigure the work so that multiple teams are working in parallel on different aspects of the project.
The effect of time compression will be that teams may be working on things that would ideally require another team to finish its work, so that it can their efforts. Given the fact that the tight schedules do not permit us to wait, I am wondering what tips and techniques can others recommend to:
-ensure a multitude of teams understand their goals
- ensures that these teams know what other teams are doing and how their work relates to the work being done on other teams
- ensure there are check in points
- any suggestions on reporting in would be helpful as well.
