Ocho datos que se sugiere proporcionar al asignar trabajo al equipo

Una de las responsabilidades básicas del Administrador de Proyectos es asignar el trabajo a los miembros del equipo.  Sin embargo, algunos Administradores de Proyectos no siempre son claros en la descripción el trabajo a realizar y la persona que es responsable.

And anyway, what’s wrong with the KISS (keep it simple stupid) approach? It’s very effective and can remove a plethora of bureaucracy. There are other benefits too, 4 of which I’ve explored further in this month’s article. Have a read and tell us how you go about uncovering and agreeing solutions to project challenges.
