Project Management: Rules of Engagement

The best way to eliminate unwanted activities or distractions is to develop a list of “norms” at the project kick-off meeting.  The “norms” are a list of expectations of how you expect the team members to engage.  For example, if you decide you don't want instant messages or text messages as a form of communication, you make it a rule.  If you want communication to be in the form of an email, then you make it a rule.  But, Kathleen Warner, Vice President of Project and Program Management Services and Solutions says rules of engagement should be created as a team because everyone has their own best way to communicate, which should be considered as a team.
