An obvious indicator of productivity issues is when you notice that work is not being delivered within expected timeframes.While better to identify productivity issues earlier, it's still possible to identify causes and act to make things better in future.
Missed Deadlines
Why are some members of the team not as engaged?Team culture is very important and there are strategies for improving the culture for individuals to better engage them.In particular, colleagues should feel ownership of work, not just tools.
Culture
It's possible that the cause is simply time management issues with the individuals responsible for delivering key work.Strategies to aid individuals' time management can help them deliver and prevent bottlenecking delivery across the team.
Time Management
A great title
- If time is being managed well at the individual level, perhaps the team's work planning could be better
- Make as much work as possibly planned rather than unplanned
- Timebox work with goals
- Evaluate delivery within timeboxes; learn what team velocity looks like
Planned Work
If work is not being planned effectively, consider what planning sessions look like. Is everyone involved? Does it fall to one person dictating and other simply being told what to do?Use strategies for making planning more engaging for all team members.
