| Feb 6, 2017 at 13:28 | comment | added | Lilienthal♦ | The first step is to clarify your role with your manager. Explain that you can act as a central point of contact and can remind your colleagues of the new procedures/guidelines/... but that you have neither the standing nor authority to actually get them to comply. Then see what he has to say. I doubt that he actually expects you to supervise their work. The results you're getting now may be sufficient: they're mostly working with the changes after all. | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 10:17 | comment | added | agentroadkill | @Lilienthal, that may be correct. I don't call myself a project manager as there's someone about 4 layers above me called that. You're correct in that my colleagues and myself all report to the same technical manager, who has at least three open projects for my team at any one time. I was more thrown for a loop by my team lead asking me to 'babysit'. I understand what he's asking, but my colleagues don't have a compelling reason to listen to me (they largely do, but often cut corners or do things the way they've been done rather than even attempting to comply with some changes I've asked for). | |
| Feb 6, 2017 at 7:15 | comment | added | Lilienthal♦ | Why are you asking about managing colleagues though? It seems to me like you're managing a project, not the people on it. Those are two very different things. Do your colleagues have an actual manager? Is there another (technical) project manager? | |
