While teams do need to vent at times, you have to come back to reality based in factual information. Outside review is a great idea if you can’t divest yourself enough from the emotional aspects.

Good thoughts Kiron.

]]> Comment on Should you hire a contract PM? It depends… by kbondale http://kbondale.wordpress.com/2013/06/09/should-you-hire-a-contract-pm-it-depends/#comment-640 Sun, 09 Jun 2013 21:04:05 +0000 http://kbondale.wordpress.com/?p=1068#comment-640 Thanks for the feedback, Mark, and thanks for following my blog! While most contract PMs will strive to develop positive working relationships with as many of the folks they interact with as possible, I have worked with a few who tended to manage vertically really well, but didn’t do as good a job at managing laterally.
