More and more projects that go global are impacted by local business cultures. To overcome some of the adverse impacts of local business culture to a global project, I suggest a kick off meeting that creates a project based culture. The project based culture should be based on the common touch points among the people, processes and tools for the projects.
Recently I was working on a project where two project teams in a co-development effort were using different change control and test tools. This caused incredible disconnects in the software development process, especially with regard to testing and change requests. In addition, there were no metrics in place to assess the actual added cost to the project due these inefficiencies.
My prescriptions were to remediate these out-of-tolerance conditions immediately in 3 quick steps. What would you do?
