Not every project we are assigned requires a team to accomplish it. In the right situations, not having a team to complete the projects certainly saves work in managing the team and keeping them engaged. There are some projects that can be successfully concluded if a group of individuals fulfill the tasks they are assigned.
For example, projects that…
- Require specialists to complete tasks independently
- Have no critical timeline for completion and can be worked on by individuals as needed
- Are similar year after year, such as updating a marketing plan for a product line
…do not require a team to complete them. By not using a team approach to complete every project, organizations are increasingly likely to accomplish more initiatives during a given year. Any project that requires individuals to complete tasks without relying on each other to get those tasks completed do not require a project team. By enabling for project teams only when truly needed to accomplish a project, you reduce the workload of teams (less shuffling from initiative to initiative) and reduce the time the project manager has to spend in engaging a team.
Hi Irahim,
Thank you for your comment. There are a number of initiatives (shall we say “mini projects”) that we may work on that are certainly a project but not one that requires interacting with others. For example, a company might consider the Holiday cards they send to clients each year a mini project, but not ones that requires a team.
Thank you again for reading and for your comment!
Best regards,
Gina
project carried by individulas without interactions betwwen them, we can define it project without teams, and how far degree of interactions betwwen them determine this and what projects carried only by ourself (e.g reding abook).
