In my years of teaching project management and consulting on projects, I found that a common question project managers and their teams ask me relates to what type of software and/or platforms they should use to plan and track a project.  I find it hard to recommend a particular software and/or platform because so many different options exist, and it depends so much on the project and the team.  The decision requires thinking about needs and technical capabilities, geographical distribution, legal frameworks, and other similar considerations.

Is the above question — “who is leading the meeting and who is taking notes?” — one that is familiar to you? Or, have you encountered challenges within your team which caused conflict and delayed work? These are common problems that people face when working in collaboration with others. But how can a team work to minimize problems while trying to get the work done? What tools and strategies exist? One such tool is the team charter.
