Project Harmony: Empowering Project Managers and Developers to Play in Perfect Sync – Uppala
Abstract:
In today’s fast-paced, agile-driven world of project delivery, the relationship between project managers and software development teams has never been more crucial. Yet all too often, these two critical groups find themselves at odds – plagued by miscommunication, conflicting priorities, and a lack of mutual trust.
This disconnect comes at a heavy cost. According to a recent study by the Project Management Institute, lack of trust between PMs and technical teams was a primary contributor to project failure in 38% of cases. And Gallup research has shown that teams with low trust in their manager’s leadership demonstrate 50% lower productivity compared to high-trust environments.
This interactive session will introduce a proven Servant Leadership framework to help project managers cultivate more collaborative, trust-based partnerships with their engineering counterparts. Through a step-by-step process in the framework, attendees will learn how to effectively build trust with engineering teams through-out the project life cycle from inception through delivery and sustain trust-based partnerships over long-term.
By fostering a culture of mutual understanding, shared accountability, and frictionless collaboration, project managers will unlock the true potential of their PM-developer relationships – driving successful, innovative project delivery that delights customers and stakeholders alike.
