In the last episode I have mentioned how important negotiations
become in maintaining a Death March project. Today we're focussing
on another aspect: How to gather the right people in your project?
Especially in Death March projects your surrounding team mates
might become the only persons you see for a very long time. Insist
on having the right persons in your team. Expect overtime hours,
but remember always that you've a long way to go. And at the very
end you should have enough power to sprint for the last 100 meters.
Taking care for people is an essential part to be successful in
running projects. For Death March projects however it is an
absolute must to do it. Besides all technical knowledge, besides
all negotiations, you need to have loyal, cohesive, and cooperative
team with you. In this episode I will highlight some essentials
when working with people in critical projects.
