Schedules – impact on the team and on the project

This post is a continuation of my series extracted from Scott Berkun’s book: How to make things happen. In this series, I have already shared my thought and diagrams about making decision, about building trust, and about dealing with crisis. Below diagram is about schedules (not your personal schedule but a team schedule).

The interesting part in this chapter, in my opinion at least, was the impact of schedules on a team, it can really help the team to take ownership of the project and everyone can sees his work as a whole. I remember working on some project where the team did not have a clear understanding on where we were going. The effect on the motivation were pretty bad.
