Jen Skrabak shares 5 lessons we can take away from the current global pandemic, and I would add that it is important to keep the channels of communication open and to plan ahead. We all feel isolated during this stay-at-home mandate, and it is important for organizations to remain in contact – perhaps overly-so -with teams so that employees still feel part of the process. Thy need to know there is a lifeline when problems arise. Additionally, we are all going to emerge from this pandemic situation – hopefully sooner rather than later – so its important to have a plan ready to go on the other side. For instance, the hospital I work for has been working for weeks on a plan to meet the expected return of patients to the system once social-distancing rules begin to ease. Modeling, data-analysis, and strategic planning are all ways to prepare for life after the Coronovirus – and activities need to begin now.

Ramiro Rodrigues’ post about conflict raises some interesting points concerning contention in projects. Its been my experience that, in the very matrixed organizational structures that PM’s find themselves existing in, it is difficult to find the formal authority and power to exercise management over the various resources involved in completing the work.
