How would you approach feedback that highlights gaps in your team's skill set during project coordination?

Ouvir e agir! A integridade do projeto passa pela confiança da equipe, projetos fracassados demandam tempo e esforço financeiro para preencher lacunas vazias de informações. Pessoas geram resultados, transparência e comunicação limpa fazem parte de todo o projeto.

Feedback is an invaluable tool for continuous improvement. For project managers, receiving feedback—especially when it's freely given—offers a chance to identify areas within a project that may lack the necessary skills to excel or could benefit from further development of existing skills. It's essential for project managers to approach feedback with a positive mindset, seeing it as a pathway to enhancement rather than a challenge to be met defensively.

Here's a concise approach to addressing feedback about skill gaps during project coordination: Acknowledge the feedback and avoid getting defensive. Conduct a skills gap analysis to identify specific areas for improvement. Develop an action plan for training, mentorship, and knowledge sharing. Communicate the plan and foster a collaborative learning environment. Monitor progress and adjust the plan as needed. The key is to view skill gaps as opportunities for growth and work with your team to develop the necessary competencies for successful project coordination.

Understand feedback: Clearly identify specific gaps. Assess team: Evaluate current skills & weaknesses. Develop plan: Prioritize gaps, create development plan, assign responsibilities, set goals. Implement: Provide training, foster learning, leverage resources. Monitor: Track progress, adjust plan, celebrate successes. Involve team, seek external input, build core skills, promote collaboration.

Constant assessment through observation on allicated tasks. Provide a healthy environment to communicate feedback, starting with their strong points and contectualise with oultnine a supportive improvement plan to be agreed upon by both parties

Training and Certification: Consider investing in training for team members, possibly leading to certifications. Hiring or Consulting: Bringing in an experienced coach or consultant to guide the team through the transition could accelerate our learning curve. Process Improvement: Implement regular retrospectives to identify ongoing challenges and adapt our processes accordingly.

Each team member has a unique skill set that can contribute to the project. Communicate with your team and find out what role they are most suited for the project.

Após recebimento do feedback, realizar um levantamento estratégico da equipe é fundamental. Nesse levantamento será analisado o conjunto de habilidades oferecidos por sua equipe e onde cada um deles poderá atuar, pontuando os critérios positivos e negativos que cada um pode encontrar. Sempre atento as críticas, pois uma crítica bem feita e construtiva, pode levar ao sucesso.

When I receive feedback highlighting skill gaps within the team, my initial approach is to conduct a comprehensive evaluation of the team's existing skill set compared to the project's demands. This detailed assessment helps identify specific areas where the team may fall short in terms of required skills. It’s important to determine if the team possesses the critical competencies needed for project success or if there are areas that require development. This analysis will guide the creation of a focused action plan to address these skill gaps and ensure the team is adequately equipped to achieve the project's goals.

Dicha información mientras se utilice con respeto por los otros, puede ser una gran herramienta para el desarrollo adecuado tanto del equipo como del proyecto. Esto se puede realizar tanto desde la evaluación como coordinador, cómo también desde evaluaciones de auto reporte o de pares, respetando confidencialidad y anonimato.

Com base na avaliação, desenvolva um plano de treinamento focado nas lacunas identificadas. Este plano pode incluir workshops, cursos online, sessões de mentoring ou qualquer outro recurso de desenvolvimento que seja mais eficaz para as necessidades específicas.

Involving team members in skills acquisition boosts team effectiveness. Regular discussions reveal dedication levels and growth opportunities. Leaders should conduct skills assessments to create personalized learning plans. Encourage ownership by setting goals and tracking progress. Schedule feedback sessions, share comprehensive plans, and visualize skill-goal connections. While leaders decide, team input is crucial. This approach fosters engagement and continuous learning. Clear communication and openness to feedback are key. By prioritizing skill development, leaders build stronger, more adaptable teams ready for any challenge.

Trabajar en un proyecto conjunto no solo es una experiencia de poner en práctica lo que se sabe, sino que también de aprender información y herramientas que puedan ser relevantes para el desarrollo del proyecto, cómo también para la experiencia laboral. Por lo que, generar espacios de formación buscando disminuir las desigualdades de conocimiento en el equipo, es una instancia enriquecedora para todos.

Não adianta cobrar isso ou aquilo da sua equipe se você como líder não consegue dar espaço à eles com treinamentos, palestras, cursos, aulas, ou seja, se você não apbre as portas para nenhum tipo de capacitação e só cobra que eles devem chegar em casa depois das 18h e estudar para retornar tudo para a empresa, você deve esperar somente um pedido de desligamento e nada mais.

In fact, for me, it's an opportunity to grow and improve, so creating a learning plan by setting SMART goals based on the identified skill gaps is critical, and then providing ongoing support, resources, and recognition for continuous learning

Instancias de formación como maneras de fomentar el aprendizaje del equipo, también les entrega mayor confianza y autonomía en su desarrollo del proyecto. Esto se puede llevar a cabo, por ejemplo, designando un día donde un integrante del equipo estudie sobre un tema relevante para el proyecto y lo presente a sus compañeros, trabajando así también habilidades diversas como búsqueda y manejo de información, oratoria, liderazgo, entre otros.

Dê o exemplo e mostre que é muito, mas muito importante estar atualizado e sempre se envolvendo no aprendizado de novas tecnologias e/ou aprimorando conhecimentos.

Esse monitoramento deve ser constantemente analisado pelo líder do time, entendendo cada profissional e seu momento para evidenciar o crescimento.

Remember that not every situation needs a reaction, but every bit of feedback deserves a response. Really consider whether you’re reacting to a once-off or responding to a regular occurrence. Knee-jerk reactions don’t always garner a great outcome. Considered conversations, thoughtful feedback, targeted learning, diagnosis of cause …. These are great responses.

The team may consider a short training program with subject matter experts to address skills gap. This may have to be attended off hours if the project schedule is full. Even supervisors may have a part in this training program if expected learning fits the role of team member with inadequate skills.
