How would you discuss with a project team that you don’t feel like you’re getting the support from the team to learn the work (in the way that works best for you) and you would like to potentially roll-off the project and find a better fit? What language would you use to broach the subject without upsetting people…

Have you thought about how they could be giving you the support you need? What does that look like?

Ask your manager if you can schedule a 30 minute mid day check in. Come to that meeting with a list of your questions and where you need more guidance.

Across all projects, you are going to find that people are busy and they aren’t going to have time to sit down and walk through each task step by step and truly give the level of very in depth guidance you may want - it would just be more efficient for the Manager to do the task themselves in this case. A certain level of independent learning is just part of the job.

However, most people are willing to take the time to answer questions you may have but you need to be proactive about doing this and asking for this.

Assuming you are relatively new, rolling off may not be an easy conversation to have and might but be the best first solution. I think as a first step you need to have a conversation with your manager expressing what you need for you to be successful and see if you can make a plan together to meet in the middle. If they aren’t able to adapt to help, then you can broach them topic of rolling off.

I would approach it as I’m not confident that I’m contributing to the project as much as I should/could due to the learning curve, and the support I’m hoping to get from the team. Did you raise your concern to your manager or PM?Have a chat and address the problem first, and only ask to roll off if it doesn’t work out.
