Dewayne Mikkelson hits it dead on with this observation:

Yesterday's posting hit a nerve. (Seems at least three people agree with me!) What might we be able to accomplish on our projects if we put our attention on learning to increase the relatedness of people on our projects rather than studying for the PMI certification exam? Does anyone really think that doing better work breakdown structures will make our projects successful? No one. That's what I thought. How about learning to repair trust between two important team members? Now that would make a difference. Not the role of a project manager, you say? Then who's role is it?

yeah, that caught my eye. As product manager, I've attempted (more than once) to cool down out of control conversations between team members. It becomes more difficult when

  • You love a good argument (one of my faults, I guess)
  • All the parties involved are remote from one another - leaving email, phone, and IM as the only cooling mechanisms.
