In the past few years, researchers tried to understand what makes projects fail. They came up with over 200 factors, nearly all of them linked to misalignment among the project teams.
Digging deeper in this experiment they were able to identify 4 key elements to good collaboration:
- Joint objectives
- Joint commitments
- Joint resources
- Joint risks
Based on these findings, Stefano Mastrogiacomo created the Team Alignment Map, a visual tool that helps teams structure conversation and make sure they are all aligned.
Enigma has been leveraging the Team Alignment Map. We use it internally as well as with clients to:
- make meetings more productive
- follow-up projects from kick-off to delivery
- avoid issues linked to misunderstandings or untold topics
We will gladly help you embrace this new approach to conversational project management with our dedicated workshops!
