How do I encourage the team to post and communicate in a slack channel dedicated to a specific project? Should I start each day by sending out what’s due today to get them comfortable? Any tips?

Yes! I lead by doing. So all my updates go in the channel, as well as any immediate next steps, questions, etc. It’s been the easiest way to get my team to adapt, because I don’t compromise and I remind them it’s ALL about process 😉

like

If you have an update share it there. It’s hard to be the channel police though…no joy lies there. Migrate any direct conversations of interest to whole group there.

I just joined a new company and we use Slack almost exclusively. If you have any tips to help me get use to leaning into Slack, I’m all ears! I’m worried about missing a critical update bc there are so many channels!

like

This is always difficult. I don’t use slack anymore but I think it’s always helpful to make project channels and then when a project is closed, you archive and close the channel as well. And if people chat you individually, I recommend directing them to the channel so the entire team can benefit from their question as well.

Get rid of what doesn’t work. Any channels your team isn’t actively using? Remove it. See what your team uses the most and then how that can improve. Sometimes is just about baby steps and that’s as good as it gets for now. But ensure your notifications are set up & that people are tagging the individuals if there is a direct ask to someone.

Hope that helps! It’s a journey for sure.

When a new type of project comes in and you get assigned as the PM to “figure out” the project plan, how do you go about resource allocation? Sometimes I struggle to know what the team configuration should even be, because we’ve never done said project type before. It’s hard to know what type of people should be assigned, and at what % time, when there isn’t a preexisting process or work breakdown structure for the deliverables I’m being handed to “manage.” How do/would you handle?
