Resource Management
Resource Talent Management
What is it?
: The management of full-time staff
and part-time resources
: The management of full-time staff
and part-time resources Leading people
What’s the difference?
Resource Management in Technology
VS
Resource Management in Technology
When it’s right
: Projects don’t fail, they pivot
: Blame is not in one’s vocabulary
: Your strongest help your weakest
: Resignations are far and few between
: Vacations are enjoyed, not skipped
: Your team interacts outside the office
When change is needed
: Departments compete with each other
: Post Mortem is a term everyone knows
: WFH requests outweigh co-location requests
: “Turnover is common in our industry”
: Everyone works late, all the time
: You’re CC’d on emails as a weapon
: Leadership peers are unresponsive
: Frequent closed door meetings
How to change
: Get feedback on issues in a group meeting
: Encourage employees for honesty, even if brutal
: Assign a smaller team to help track found problems
: Start weekly team meetings, monthly group meetings
: Recruit outside consultant for feedback
: Fire the assholes Remove bad seeds
: Reorganize and flatten your team structure
: Co-locate with your team
: Embrace transparency
Tools to help
: Before you assign your next project
get all stakeholders in front of a
whiteboard or a piece of paper
for at least 15 minutes.
: Make a list of everything that has to be
accomplished, should be accomplished,
and is nice to have. Prioritize it.
Stay until there is agreement.
: Collaborate with the stakeholders on the
prioritized list throughout the work.
: Use a document collaboration tool to track
changes, and keep everyone in the loop.
I use Box @ http://box.com
: Upgrade to a modern workflow tool.
: This will both help your team, and
give you easy line of sight into their
process and communication.
: Actually seeing the game allows you
to be a better coach.
I use Asana @ http://asana.com
: Use a separate tool to organize your
team’s current and upcoming workload.
No more spreadsheets.
: Organize them around projects based
on their abilities. Not just availabilities.
I use ResourceGuru @
http://resourceguruapp.com
: These are just a handful of steps that
can be taken to help correct bad habits,
clear up trust issues, and remove
misinformation.
: Remember that time is the most
valuable investment you can make in
your team.
: But great tools are also a wise investment.
