e project management: how to better mobilize your teams in 7 key points

The days when consultants on the same project sent each other dozens of emails per day are GONE. How to clearly define each person’s roles and tasks? How can you be sure that all team members have the latest version of documents? How can we avoid misunderstandings and stalling on the team's various missions?

By largely switching to digital, companies have optimized their time and costs. But what about project management? Indeed, the finalization of a mission depends on many factors, including the essential one of teamwork and its smooth running. Stafiz allows companies to use one solution for all of their operations: project management and monitoring are part of it.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=” middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity =”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none ” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column_text] 1. Save time and productivity
Connected company resources in the same environment make work more efficient and simpler. Information is shared at the right level and communication, as everyone knows, is “the sinews of war”. On a single platform, consulting firms can monitor their sales, manage all of their projects and automate the resource planning . This saves considerable time, particularly for project managers and support teams.
This saved time leads to an increase in productivity. Companies that have taken the plunge into digitalization see their profitability increase but also their turnover. With more time available and the right tools, employees are more focused on selling projects and monitoring customer satisfaction. The rationalization and optimization of team work is an obvious cause.

2.Maximize creativity and efficiency
Working collaboratively means that each member of the team can make their contribution. The human and professional skills of each person can have a positive impact on the outcome of the project. For what ? Because first of all, everyone is part of a task improvement process. Then, the tasks, their splitting and their progress are visible to all team members. And finally, information circulates optimally.

ERPs are therefore at the heart of this new way of working. Time-consuming tasks related to communication between members of the same team disappear. Time is optimized for the benefit of actions with real added value. We can even say that this liberation allows consultants to focus their attention on the heart of their mission. Their efficiency increases, but also their capacity to innovate and create.

3. Simpler project management with visibility over all operations
Project visualization and monitoring are done in real time alongside the work of the consultants. With the integration of different project management tools, Stafiz makes life easier for managers. From the portfolio to the project report through a vision of profitability, the platform saves time. This overall visibility allows human resources and material resources to be adjusted thanks to the automatic calculation of margins or losses. Whoever is leading the project can also reframe the work easily by visualizing the tasks carried out by the consultants.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” scene_position=”center” text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” overlay_strength=”0.3″ shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none”][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_position=”all” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=” 1″ column_link_target=”_self” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” width=”1/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid” bg_image_animation =”none”][vc_column_text] 4. Empower teams

With intuitive and ergonomic project management software, project management is much simpler. Each task is predefined and each team member is positioned on a particular element of the mission. This allows for optimal visibility of the mission and its progress. But also, and this is not insignificant: teams no longer need to be constantly managed. They know the work everyone has to do to complete the project.

The project manager has an overall vision of the mission. He manages his project according to needs which may change: human resources, technical or time constraints, invoicing, monitoring of team times, etc.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] 5. Teams that are both together and mobile

Collaborators may not be in the same place at the same time. And at the organizational level, this is an essential point! If some have to travel to clients, the project can integrate external service providers who do not work in the company. This is the whole advantage of a collaborative platform. Consultants and freelancers move forward on the project wherever they are.

This geographical flexibility therefore has no impact on the deadlines to be respected, for example. The collaborative platform brings together the work of the entire team and everyone knows where they stand![/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] 6. Engage the teams

We talk a lot about technological or marketing innovation. However, what about management? The only axis that focuses on humans, its evolution is nevertheless just as fundamental. For what ? Because the way teams are managed directly impacts the success of the company. Establishing a climate conducive to initiative and innovation is not enough to change management.

A good first step is to position the project manager as an observer and guide with teams that communicate effectively with each other. But for all this, there is no magic formula! We have to give them tools. The best of them is the project management tool, which can also be called a collaborative platform because it really tends towards this type of management.[/vc_column_text][vc_column_text] 7. Motivate teams

The project management tool makes each consultant responsible for their mission within the framework of the project. This empowerment automatically leads to a new way of communicating with team members. Everyone must be able to hear and understand each other because the manager is no longer there to manage tensions. In fact, he no longer acts as a relay between team members in terms of communication. This new situation allows the development of new skills. Consultants are obliged to communicate with each other effectively for the smooth running of their mission. As a result, the team changes, in the sense that it is more aware of its responsibility. It is this accountability for the successful outcome of the project that motivates the teams and pushes them to action.

Another element of motivation is that of the global view of one's action. If the team is an entity, a whole, each member plays a role that impacts the result. For team members to have almost ironclad will, they must be able to understand this impact. Using a project management tool, it is easier to follow consultants, anticipate or understand their needs and therefore increase and sustain their motivation.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
